EOS 5D Mk2 - Destined Evolution Revealed!

[An drew]

I'm sooo getting this new camera, love the specs and the price. Just called Cathay Photo to check if they started to accept reservation, they haven't started yet

See you in the buy & sell section soon, gotta offload my beloved 5D, which served me well

Yeah man, can't wait to try my 85 1.2 on this with a HD video... a whole new world...

me....8mm! :bsmilie:

Me also offloading my cam soon.

I feel so happy for all of you

New cameras and new lenses are always great news to me!

I'm wondering for how much I should ask for a 1.6 years old 5D + battery grip?! :think:

Mine around that age but without the grip.

 

[An drew]

hmmm, so all those variations like 6D or 9D or whatever D are all plain rumours? :cry:

wish Canon would release a more affordable FF cam, without the movie mode and less MP. I guess it's all marketing.

Get a 5D for cheap since many are offloading theirs?

You can join us! With the movie function, it will bring new meanings in using current lens which there is limitation than actual video camera. :think:

Yeah, really tempted! just wondering if the AF is good enuff for birding:think: But do you guys think Canon will release a better-speced 7D or 9D?

I used 5D for sports and events. No issue with the AF.
Maybe, somewhere next year? :think:

one word reaction - dissapointing..

D700 with less megapixels is far more superior to this. If canon thinks that by this model they will be able to cut the market share of D700, they are under some wierd illusion which will soon send their market share bottoming down in FF cameras. Now even those canon loyalists who were holding on the temptation to change sides, will jump to D700.

er...what do u based ur words on? Lol, so cute.
Have you shoot with the 5d2 yet to make the comparison? Have you printed out anything even from D700 YET?

Lol....dun make a joke of yourself ba...

3. Battery grip. looks like crap, possibly functions like one too. i don't use my battery grip much. i can't seem to find images of it, but if it does have the third AF-ON button then it wouldn't be too shabby.

Canon has always been leaving us with a crappy battery grip (check out the Alpha 700's grip - i literally MIRRORS what's on the camera.)... alot of us have been complaining to no avail

Since shooting with 1 series, these new camera announcements are not exciting anymore

Other then more AF point & full wather seal, what is so great about D700 ?

every camera body has their quality. For action-shooters, the D700's 8fps, 40+ ms shutter lag, deeper raw frame buffer, are features that cannot be ignored. conversely, others will appreciate 5D2 for high-res work. If you can't appreciate the D700, others can. Pls dun start a Nikon vs Canon flame war with such sweeping statement.

btw, i use Canon.

If canon put all the features you wanted into the 5dmkII, then who will buy their 1 series?

Is the image quality of a frame capture from HD video good enough for a print?
