lol it still has the same AF system and slow-ish FPS the MK1 had...which just happened to be people's #1 and 2 complaints about it. some found it to be extremely noisy above ISO800 as well...

from what ive seen on the net, lots of people are excited for the movie mode, since they can use ridiculous lenses like f/1.2 and a have a full size sensor...plus its got a great still camera attached.

yea everyone thought that it would have a more advanced AF...but i haven't heard anything bad about the higher ISO performance...i've seen pics at iso25600 that looked fine to me

I wasn't aware Canon made another model with the features in the 5DmkII. :thinking:

I think Canon just hoped on the MP bandwagon honestly. And that movie mode to me is worthless and really just a sales gimmick. If I wanted 21mp I would move to a 1ds before I even gave the 5dmkII a thought. 25k ISO is kinda pointless too, it's like some Noink's rumored to be getting into the 100k ISO range. Just over kill.

anything over iso 1600 (isnt it?) is in "push" mode, which is like digital zoom...ghey.

video mode has a lot of people interested...big sensor + large-aperture lenses = a cool feature only moving to a 1k+ dedicated video cam can give you.

meh? probably wouldnt use it :coffee:
