guys, after buying 5D II, did you or will you still buy back-up dslr?

if yes, what & why?
 

I just did, a refurbished 5D from Adorama. I wanted the quality that the 5D Classic has delivered since its release and only have that much money to afford another FF body.

Had a 40D but felt I need quality over speed (or FOV) so.... sold it for refurbished 5D - looks and smells new for USD$600 off the non-refurb set.

Waited so long for this! For those of you interested to get a screen protector that covers the whole screen, John 3:16 does it for $20. Customised from a PSP protector. Awesome worksmanship I must say.
 

I have the following questions and hope some of you can help.

1. If i capture both Raw and Jpeg, which format is shown on the LCD on playback?
2. If i delete the picture on the camera, will both the Raw and Jpeg files get deleted at the same time?

Thanks.
 

Hi guys,

I noticed a small light blue dot on my LCD, could this be a dead pixel? And everytime I switch on the LCD a blue line appears in a fraction of a sec., where the small dot is located. Is this normal or not? Thanks!:confused:

Please correct me, If i interpreted it inncorrectly.

1. It should shown the jpeg format.
2. It should be both will deleted from the CF card in the cam. it tag with same description, but in difference CR2 and jpg ending.

other bros may spare your views here.

I didn't buy a back-up cam, but I kept my 5DC as back-up coz Murphy is always waiting around the corner especially during time critical work.
