I've recieved mine in the meantime and can only second what you said. I wish they would give it a better AF system, though I can live with it the way it is. I love the image quality.

I'm very seriously thinking about bailing on Canon and go back to Nikon. I over shoot just to make sure I get it. I only use "L" lenses & it's so frustrating. Who really needs the video. Nice toy I guess. I'm looking at the D700 & every review I read says it has tack sharp focusing. That's what I want in a camera & not a half baked video.

HD video is very cool, but I personally don't see it being any use to me no matter how cool the new "fusion" ideas floating around sound. I'm all about new trends and staying ahead of the market. But being a former wedding videographer, I think video should be left to those who specialize in it. Your images look great SOOC, love that high ISO capability!

I shot some clips while watching the Barenaked Ladies Snacktime concert yesterday in Toronto handheld with the 200mm 2.8. http://andreasphoto.blogspot.com Hi there, I think, considering that it’s a first generation camera that does video, it’s pretty cool.

I JUST saw this here (just an FYI, your RSS isn't working on my bloglines).... and LOVE what you wrote! I'm shooting with it for the first time today... and from what I've learned by playing with it... I LOVE IT! I think your review couldn't be more spot on. I 100% agree with EVERYTHING you wrote.... ESPECIALLY the thing about the live view awkwardness. I'm most excited about the high ISO capabilities and that LCD is RIDICULOUS! And of course... AYKM with the lack of attention to the focusing?! dumb. BUT, like you said.... that camera makes me excited about shooting and yes yes yes... that's EXACTLY what it's all about! ;) WOW TO MY SCATTERBRAINED COMMENT! AHHHH!!!!!! Hope your holidays are FAB! ~bobbi JESS!

Have any Lens that you love that I should look at I know that you use the 85 1.2. Which looks great but do you use anything else? Thanks.

I really only wanted it for the video option. I was imagining shooting videos on an 85mm f1.2. How cool would that have been? I wonder if I should even open the box or just sell it unopened. Sounds gay. crap. I really only wanted it for the video option. I was imagining shooting videos on an 85mm f1.2. How cool would that have been?

So I was curious of your opinion...get the 5D in a couple months, or wait a little longer and save up for the 5Dii? I wasn't sure if it would be worth the extra money or time and since you have experience with both, your input would be very valuable. Thanks!!
