Missing shots because the 5d2 couldn't focus, sure. "missing" shots because you don't have enough DR - sorry, but I have to call b*llsh!t. Did you "miss" DR shots in 2009, or did you just start missing them when someone else got a camera with wider DR?
Sure, go ahead and buy something else - but at least be honest with yourself about it
If the AF misses by too great a margin to squeak away with, the shot is missed. If the scenes has movement and lots of DR and is not so simple that a GND works, then you can miss the scene just the same if the deficit is too extreme. So why the heck is one valid and the other 'troll' BS?
Given the fact the clock is on 00:00:00 and nothing has happened I assume the 'impossible' is a Tardis. The logo is the clue. Canon have discovered time travel.We know they've been working up to it, using technology from the ancient past for present sales....
Funny, I just clicked the link, and the Countdown to Impossible is still running, currently at 06:06. Did I miss something here?? Perhaps I passed thru a Time Warp?

I bought my canon lenses, IMO they owe me an alternative to their competition. I don't love the idea of spending $600 for an adaptor to use my lenses on a GH4 or A7S. I know canon can do it, but they don't. That pisses me off.
Where does this sense of entitlement come from these days? You bought a lens, or lenses. What does Canon owe you? Functioning lenses, up to a year. Nothing more. That money you spent on the lens is in no way a promise to provide you with a certain kind of camera in the future.
Do you know Canon can't do it, or do you assume they won't? I think a lot of newer photographers haven't been around long enough to remember when Canon was on top. It's a cycle. During some time periods, Canon has better cameras. During others, Nikon has better cameras. People always assume that because it's been a couple of years where Nikon's D800 has theoretically outperformed Canon's 5D3, that Canon is just sitting on their thumbs. Do you actually work at Canon and have inside knowledge about what their current developments are? Are you aware that sometimes research, development, or production hits an obstacle and is therefore delayed? We have no way of knowing why it's taken x amount of time to come out with a successor that competes or beats Nikon, but it's ridiculous to think they are doing nothing.
