Pros:
|
Image Quality, ISO, Large Viewfinder, large excellent IQ lcd,
|
|
Cons:
|
compared to my 20D not much...
|
|

I upgraded from my 20D which I purchased the day it was released. The only downside I see is that a few of my older lenses needed to be upgraded because of softness in the corners that I did not noticed on the 20D ( this is not the problem of the 5Dm2)
I have had this camera for 2 weeks and so far it has been very good... I can't believe how much I missed full frame.

Pros:
|
great contrast and sharpness, very nice build.
|
|
Cons:
|
horrible CA on my 20D ... if you are shooting outdoors with branches they will be purple.
|
|
|
I purchased this lens for a great price and it is a very good lens if shooting indoors for portraits and such, however i would not recomend it for outdoor uses. the CA is very noticable.

I purchased this kit with the 18-55mm ef lens and love the camera. With a decent lens it is a dream to use. the custom options alone make this a great step up from the dreb. I think a more fair price for this camera would be $1200 for body and $1300 for 18-55 kit. although I think they will need to pick a better lens then either of the two that the kits ship with.
I would suggest that you get it without a kit lens and purchase a lens more suited to fit your needs.

Pros:
|
Good power, works with the D20 in ettl-2 mode. I really like the remote features.
|
|
Cons:
|
still not intuitive to use, battery door is taped on my unit to prevent accidental removal of batteries.
|
|
|
This is one of the only flashes i could get to work with my D20 in TTL mode. it works pretty well although I do find my self using a manual setting now and then. this is a great flash for outdoor shooting because of all of the power.
