EOS 5D Mk2 - Destined Evolution Revealed!

[Redsun]

yea...not that tempted too

I see need for new computers (they recently announced new Cray supercomputers for home use) more HDDs and storage (Sandisk 32gb and cheap 1TB HDDs). These add up to a lot of waste of space and money if you are not using it for work. Those with money to burn is another story. :bsmilie:

:think:

Hahaha.... I'm tempted.... But the price is giving me a wake-up call :sweat:

Compatible with over 60 Canon EF/EF-S lenses and most EOS System accessories.

EF-S can use? If not how come they put it here?

Obviously incorrect the that EF-S lenses can be used. Probably the marketing guys copied it from the 50D info.

Actually I'm happy it's not that enticing.
Then I am not tempted.

I tot that's one of the 'feature' of 5D2? :think:

 

[CYRN]

Bros, for me good enough liao....now can start shoot movies using my lenes.
using 8mm to shoot movies...:think:

movie mode got AF or not?

haha, me too ...:sweatsm:

 

[Gunbucker]

Did any one see anything about weather sealing?

The buffer size says "13 RAW". Does it mean I can burst 26 x 10mp SRaw?

Any mention on the "improved AF" that the rumor mills were talking about?

 

[Gunbucker]

Oh wait...

3.9 fps?!?!?!?! W-T-F?!?!?!?!??!?! I hope the Canon guys responsible for this get ALMOST promoted, and ALMOST got a pay raise, and can ALMOST give their wives orgasm.

And the viewfinder coverage. 98%? Is it against the law to give 100%?

Just curious, that's all.

:think:.....who cares! :bsmilie:

Bro, nothing is perfect in this world. It is a give and take thing. Let's wait for the next camera.

 

[Majest1c]

not sexciting less .... only *wah* points is the
ISO
21MP
hd recording...

 

[adamadam]

Features I wanted were 100% viewfinder (still only 98%), faster & more accurate AF.
and perhaps an unexpected surprise to top it off.

Looks like I have to continue looking at 1 series

 

[gremlin]

ok.. excitment over... lets start thinking of what features 5Dmk3 has now...

 

[Gunbucker]

Totally agree. Just tickles my feet on how the trigger-happy cripplers in Canon cut it close.

3.9fps.... amazing... I suppose giving 4fps would mean their souls will burn in hell?

VF is the next funniest thing... 5D=96%, 5Dm2=98%,... and I'd like to put up a bet up for what 5Dm3 will be... 98.5%? 98.8%, 99%, 99.95%?

I'm sure it will produce images of the superlative order, and that's the be all end all.

I really want to meet up with Canon's product spec designers. Really. Even more than I want to meet Big Foot, The Abominable Snowman, or ET...

 

[chopper]

got!

AF micro adjustment *

• Adjust all lenses by same amount (effectively body adjustment)
• Adjust up to 20 lenses individually

Wohoo !! Another tick on the features that I wanted.

Does faster and greater evolution counts as a feature?

 

[StrifeYun]

wanted ...
weather resist
at least 5 FPS
100% view finder
grip that would curve to the body nicer ...

:x
