Pre-ordered one yesterday with Amazon.com as I need an injection of the \"stoke factor\". My 5D is exactly 3 years old and it\'s a bit long in the tooth. Time to upgrade. I want features like a self-cleaning sensor, 3\" high-def VGA screen, live view, partial weather sealing and useable higher ISO. 21 megapixels means I can crop my photos as much as I please and still end up with a decent file size to work with. You can buy a 1TB external hard drive for under $200 so hard drive space is no longer a major concern. The new sensor and Digic IV sounds very promising, noise-wise and IQ-wise. The 5D II is a vastly improved/superior camera IMO, and it\'s tremendous value at $2,700. What is there not to like?
This is not an incremental/marginal upgrade .... like it was from the 10D right through to the 50D. This is a HUGE upgrade ... and the price fell by $600 (from what I paid for it 3 years ago .... and I thought nothing ever gets cheaper! Heck, it\'s even cheaper than the D700 .... with better IQ and resolution. I am really stoked!
