Come on .. we are talking about a UNDER $3K FF Camera!

Even NO movie mode .. I will buy it .. as same as other 90% 5DII buyers ..  

However, with this move from Canon, I save myself $1100 for buying the D90 ...   

Since when, we judge a photo by the ultimate sharpness only?

Isn't it the composition/capture memont more important then ..  ultimate sharpness??


I still dont think the biggest selling point for 5DII is the movie mode ...   

Actually, I would like to see if any small improvement on the AF, even same hardware, but newer/better software, could help!     ( just need a little bit better, as 5D AF is already better/as good as most other Nikon/Sony/Oly/Fuji etc ... and if best AF is most important to a photographer? just go to the 1 series. If best AF and IQ is a must .. then be prepare your $8K lol )

"不用等啦，好多人做緊。"
Just for discussion...I really haven't seen any from a pro photographer...can you show me a few?  All the work that they show is still images.  OTOH, videographers sometimes show still images in their clip.

Out of focus or not, it's too early to say without a real hands on review.  I dont' think Canon's DSLR AF is slow....even so the 5D is no 1D level AF...it can still do tracking quite well...especially with their ring USM in their L lenses!  The AF accuracy thing can be fixed now with microadjustment.  Also, people used to pixel peep much higher res than HD...more like 4500x3500 or higher....size of the HDTV is irrelevent...resolution matters.

Obviously, I'm not a video man so can you explain the reason for this "至於話收光圈拍，呢句話係外行人講"?

I don't use to think video is a big deal until I have Dario.. !  Right now, I have to take pictures with my DSLR, then take out my G9 to take videos.  With the 5Dm2, it may help resolve this issues..!

I wonder if the 5Dm2 allows me to swap the 2 wheels in Av mode.

I do think the camera is a bit overkill.., but it's not like we can get the camera any cheaper by asking for less features..!

I do think 21MP is too much for non-professional use..!  Not shooting with Raw would be a waste, but if you do shoot in Raw.. you will need lots of Harddrive space, and super fast computer..!

Don't forget you don't want to store your photos w/o any sort of backup using Mirror, Raid 5, etc..  Or in some cases.. backup on DVD-R, and have them store remotely

I hv checked few you tube from diff photographers, they all said they USE movie once a while ..  ( DC ? ) so with the 5DII, dont hv to carry 2 ( or 3 ) camera, but 1 or 2 ..     so that is a plus (bonus) for them ..

What I am impressed .. is the quote " 5DII is same or better then the 1DS III in term of picture quality, and much better high iso performance ..  "  (Isn't it what we want?)

Dont get me wrong, I will be more then happy to use the Movie function ..   lol ..  will see in 7 weeks.

講多句, 我都好想要5D2, 因為佢有淺景深, 拍VIDEO效果比得上 MOVIE, 就算 2/3" ENG 機都做唔到. (原因在於鏡頭，　以前要做同樣效果係非常麻煩，　如用CANON XL2 接　EF Adapter,  但焦距乘大幾倍，另外就係用　35mm adapter，　咁做係非常昂貴。　

canon　就係睇到呢個市場。買部　5d2　平過買　35mm adapter，

至於係唔係淺景深就好呢？係拍　video　實踐之中，拍　event　用　sony z1　有時都 out of focus，　用　5d2　真係不敢想像！　至於話收光圈拍，呢句話係外行人講。

記唔記得早幾年成日嘈　canon　走焦？　原因係以前用　film　唔係每個人放大相，　轉左係mon睇，　個個都　100% crop.　試想下　hdtv,　37" 42" 50"...而且仲要係 MOVING OBJECT!

如果有 canon　用　5d2　拍　tracking shot　或者　close up moving object 就好啦。canon web site D sample 全部避重就輕.
