I'm in love with the 5DmkII. You don't even know how crazy awesome it is. Clueless.

We will be sleeping together tonight.

Dude, I played around with Evan's for a bit (at our East Coast meetup), and that thing is pure amazingness. So much so, I've decided that I'm gonna sell my 5D and join the mile high club with you all. Have you played around with the Live view Zoom Focus thing? It's a freakin sweet camera. I was 90% convinced on getting the 1Dmk3... but now it looks like the 5DII will win afterall.

You should put that video mode to use and get us some more Hamburger Shark... in HD

Not a polygamist, but definitely a tax break.

For those who're in love and/or lust with the 5D2 and still don't have one (or just having a wet dream about it), may be we can form a Corporation and apply for a gov. bail out, eh?

You guys are killing me!

How big are the files? Are you using SRAW? Does it focus better than the 5D?

I'm struggling with the focus performance on my recently acquired 5D... it's much worse than my 40D, and the 50D is better still. Makes me think I should bite the bullet and get the 5DII. I'd have to sell quite a few things to get the money.

Files are around 25MB for full sized RAW, around 16-18MB for sRAW1 (10MP). I use full size raw for most of the portrait and wedding stuff, while I use sRAW1 for the reception shots. It helps a little bit.

Focusing is faster than the original 5D for sure, but I'm not convinced its any more accurate. Focusing seems very similar to the 40D.

Spencer, If you haven't married them it's just a 3-way. I always thought you were kinda kinky.

Doctor: Yes Mrs Hassas, we get this quite often with men when they reach a *certain* age. Usually it's with cars though. Don't worry he'll soon come back to you once he realizes it can't cook very well and doesn't keep his feet warm at night. In the meantime just make sure he uses protection, you don't never know what bugs that thing might have!

I shot my first engagment session with it yesterday. THE SCREEEEEEEEN!!! Worth the cost of admission IMO. I shot it Full RAW for my first go to weight things out. We had a 2 1/2 hour session. For 270 shots I was at 10 GIGS! Gonna do Jpeg on the next one and sRAW after that. I will find what \s' most comfortable for me. Will post soon.

I'm still in love with my D700. For me its the off-center 51 pt AF tracking that really made the switch worth it.

But dude I'd totally hit that. Spences 5d2's look hot with the 35L and 85L. God I miss those babies.

Yeah that LCD is the bomb. All the goodies of the 40D and ISO6400 to boot. SRAW1 is totally useful. Had to return mine due to error 20's though

Last wedding on the blog: Laura + Ross were shot with 4 5D Mk IIs in sRAW.
I like it so far. Takes a bit of getting used to to switch to the "AF ON" button instead of the *. But what is up with the shortage in batteries

OMG.
