5D II ... what is your wish list?

daimo

haha .. let's start a rumor...

What kind of improvements do you look forward to in a 5D II?

let me start:

1) automatic sensor dust removal - the infamous 5D dust situation
2) improved metering accuracy - the current meter can easily be fooled
3) improved off-centre AF speed - i believe the 40D has better off-centre AF points
4) improved high-ISO - 3200 is good enough for me ...
5) Sensor/chip that will make the pic film like

my top wishlist

- better AF, hopefully like 1D2 level
- less shutter lag
- at least 5 fps
- weather seal
- better hi res LCD, like the ones on recent Nikon
- dual card writing
- better dynamic range
- good noise reduction upto ISO 6400
- PRICE UNDER $2500US

for lens I want to see

135L IS
24-85/2.8L IS
new version of 15mm fisheye with USM

one thing I missed ...

- reduction of the shutter noise!!!!

I am more concern about lens/flash ..   

Hopefully .. new flash to compete with SB900 ..  and hopefully, 200IS price can be closer to 200VR ..  not $7K vs $4K ..  ( why 80% more expensive then Nikon ?? )

I dont hv much complain about 5D ..   so for 5DII ( or 3D . whatever )  liveview is expected, but kind of useless ..   self cleaning is expected too, but not that important ..   
Dynamic range will be better for sure, as Canon will put the 40D's highlight mode, (I love it!)

So, as SB said, better weather proof is very important, ( problem for 5D) better AF system, even not to 1DIII level, but at least, 40D level, ( which is actually very good! )

Noise level on 5D is already very good, but the new one, for sure will be better (more heavy built in noise reduction, as D3)

After another wedding .. then yes, I would like to see better LCD !! lol   3 inch will be for sure, but hopefully, better resolution then the one on 40D!!

Um ..  what else ?  and most likely will be $2500US/$2700 cad, as Canon will price it at least 10% less then D700.

However, no RUSH !  experience tells us, dont buy it when it is new and red HOT !! wait for  rebates!!



SB: why do u need USM on fish eye?  the canon 15mm fish eye is damn fast on focus already!  lol

I want USM on fisheye because it's SILENT!  Noisy motor seems out dated la....LOL

I prefer the screen to have more pixel... size is fine.. also AF needs to be just that bit better

Live mode is for P&S people. Useless gimmick... also better flash/exposure control to compete with the Nikons...
