There's no insinuation about it, the 5D has problems shooting in lowlight. I have shot many times with it this year and that has been the crippler for me. Waiting for a new 5D, for a better system and they put VIDEO in it instead of a better AF. Don't talk about gearheads, Canon has changed that.

So basically, what you want is a better focusing full frame DSLR?

Yes I would, and please don't say buy an "S". I have the "S"'s little brother. I waited for Canon to see what the 5DMKII would be so I now have a choice. I'm not on here whining about or stomping my feet that Canon didn't do it. I have said that I don't like they what they did though.

And as far as saying get out and shoot. I'll be doing plenty of it this weekend and next.

I call shenanigans, Where's my broom? (South Park Reference, if you got it you laughed.)

I've seen complaints about the 5D and wanting better focus with larger area on various forums. If I have, Canon has, to say different is BS. The argument the 5D system was good enough then and should be good enough now just sucks, make the body a tad bit bigger if that's what it takes. I just hate being lied to. Doesn't keep me from wanting it. Or to cancel my order.

You act as though the majority of camera owners are also forum posters. You would be very wrong...

Ditto. Improving the 5D AF should have been the first thing Canon worked on when updating the 5D. I'd rather have a better AF and still 12mp than the same AF with 21mp. And I don't want a 1D for one reason - its simply too big for my use.

i still cant imagine how people just waste their time here talking about idle drivel. Tim, your right. Everyone else, go through old photos and see the caliber of pictures photographers have been able to shoot with film and non AF lenses. Then sit down and be quiet.

If you think FM is turning in to dpr, as you say in your own thread here then do something about it, and either raise your game and make informative posts, or move on. This kind of posts is insulting to those of us that read the interview and would like to talk about it, and more so to those that have shot film for many years before we migrated to digital.

My own thread? What the hell are you talking about? There are some of us who do actually post photo's and who do actually give input on reasonable questions and discussions. I have no problem with the speculation threads. I get just as excited as everyone else does this time of year.

That said, i also know how to work with what i've got. I use a 7 year old 1D. I'm not a great photographer by any stretch, but i make it work. If you dont' like how the 5D AF's then don't use it. Canon owes you nothing. If you want to switch to Nikon, do so...that is free market capitalism at its best.

This "interview" is PROOOOOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hear that, leme say it again PROOOOOOOOFFF!!!! that what is said here really does not effect what Canon does.

Bitching about the 5D's AF on FM.com is a waste of time. Go out and take some photo's.
