This hasn't even been announced.
Even those lenses which have been, like the 300f2.8L II, isn't even available till now, so you guys can wait long, long.;p
Finally got my 5D2, hope I'm not too late for the part =P
One question, the 5D2 seems to yield darker photos overall even when shot in RAW. The white balance is quite off as well especially in orangy room light. Am I doing something wrong? My 50D gives me more accurate colors and exposure, anyone else observed this?

- are u using the same metering for your 50D and 5DMKII?
- what lens u using? shooting at what aperture? (some UW lens may have vignetting issues on FF since now its wider, maybe this makes your photos looks darker?)
- shooting in AWB (auto white balance)?

Never too late for anything.
Maybe try shooting in CWB.
Alternatively shoot in tungsten WB if the light color matches.
Cant say if its darker cauz i never owned or tried a 50D. :\

thanks for helping again sinned79 (=
- Same spot metering
- Lens using 16-35mm f2.8L II
- yes AWB. I think this is the problem.
On top of this, the pictures look a little washed out, either that or sometimes its a little too saturated. Does picturestyle have anything to do with shooting in RAW? from what I know picturestyle only affects Jpeg but i may be wrong.

Picture style affects JPEG images only.

raw files usually appears duller. u can apply S curve to get better colors. that's usually what i did from shooting raw files.
last time when i am using 450D... the colors also look washed out (but i dun know about curves back then) when i shoot in raw.
if u have 50D now, u can shoot side by side the same thing, same metering, same lighting, color balance, same lens (at same focal length) and then do 1 to 1 comparison again.

I have both, but to be honest, i love 35mm more, it stay on my camera most of the time.
The 35mm focal length is the most natural perspective of a picture. it's just like how the human eye sees. and as far as usability of pictures is concerned, i think 35mm gives you more consistent output than any other picture.
amazing L lens and amazing body and amazing photographer = amazing pictures and quality

Hi,
I just switched to 5D Mark II recently. Still a newbie photographer. Just want to find out from those who play with videos also. Is there a 60FPS video recording?

OK that is sad. 550D has 60FPS. :-( By the way, 600D looks pretty impressive.

24fps is enough already unless u shooting fast pace video clips.
