I am not qualified. I use the center point only. Like with all cameras I ever shoot the last 34 years. :-( sorry.
Exactly, which explains why you have no issue with the camera. If the 5DII's AF performance were based off of the single center point it would be rated as phenomenal. In the real world, however, you need to look at it in it's entirely.
But next to that and next to shooting AL. Did YOU do 34 years ago? At ISO 6400 pushed?
I did. And there is no existing camera that gives that to me now, in better quality. Maybe 3Ds does. But for that extra amount I prefere to travel.
No where did I say anything about high ISO capability, so I'm confused as to why you're mentioning it...
What now? Should we fight?
I have no desire to "fight" you.
Do you really care about outer points?
I only use them 99% of the time, so yes, I do somewhat care.
If I see they do not work. I use what is working.
And here is where you loose me. What is it that you don't get about a 2.6K camera not having a completely reliable AF system? It should. Period.
Yes, You may ask for more. and we all should. But we should not nail Canon to the cross, if they do not fullfill any of our wishes.
Aside from the whole crucifixion thing, yes I believe people should berate Canon for cutting corners and recycling already lack luster features in order to cut costs and over differentiate product lines. A 2.6K camera should perform better than a $500 camera in every single important aspect.
I use 5D II and the files are much to big. I cropp (seldom) 5%.
When I read people calling for 36MP to get crop freedom, I have to laugh. Itīs like asking for a Porsche at 300 mph to drive 180.There is a cause, why there is a viefinder in a DSLR: To find the optimal view. If you do not do it, of course a 70% Crop can make the image. But that is not what gear is made for, right?
Wrong. Cropping is, at times, needed believe it or not. Not everyone has the luxury, or the cash, to frame a shot perfect every single time. Again, just because you hardly ever have the need to crop doesn't mean everyone else doesn't.
5D MK II ist the best available (and afordable) camera imo up to date. So what is wrong in using it and beeing happy?

Did I ever say people shouldn't be happy to use the camera? If it makes you happy, so be it. If you think it's the greatest camera to date, so be it. If someone else disagrees because they use their cameras differently, do your best to understand that not everyone is you.
