This must be an early consequence of global warming. Water levels are rising and all of the trolls are coming out from under their bridges.

Poor IQ of zooms versus primes, distortion, slow glass, prices too high, sync speeds.

Bravo! I too love the 5D II. For action shots I use
1D 4. Why buy Nikon's over-priced lenses?
I really wouldn't mind doing some long term testing on those new Canon telephotos. I did think the Nikon glass was expensive until I priced the new Canon 400/2.8, ouch! Should you want to provide me with one I'd take real good care of it.

Very good thoughts Taoguy. I also own a bunch of Canon and Nikon equipment and you can sum up my thoughts as follows, that old 5D2 takes one hell of a picture, did for the last several years and will be many more to come.

I am an old guy and shake my head when the kids complain about today's DSLRs. The saddest part is when they claim ability is 95% photographer and 5% camera. Shoot a wedding, a BIF or a sporting event with a manual camera and film and show us all how talented you really are. No scanning or PP allowed either.

I hear ya! Once I got fairly good at pre focusing to a set point, the dang racer would take a different line. BIF were almost nonexistent! I never figured out how to really nail the sky focusing on s certain point. Besides all of that you didn't know what your pics looked liked until you got back to the darkroom.

It wasn't long ago that people were screaming that the 1D's mk2 was still not going to cut it as a digital camera would need 50 megapixels just to be even with 35mm film. Usually from people who read as such in a magazine rather than checking with their own eyes.
Within a short time we had 21 megapixel cameras and people were then screaming that the megapixels were just too much for the lenses.
However i do have an issue with the 5Dmk2 and that is the banding issues that some deny yet really are there above 1600 iso. Perhaps that is a problem that varies from camera to camera given the range of opinions on it.
I am hoping for serious low light capabilities with the mk3.
