"... although there has been some improvement to the environmental sealing - most notable around both the battery and CompactFlash card doors."

So weather "resistant" a la 50D. In other words, not weather-sealed.

It looks like Canon just gave an incremental improvement for $2500. They haven't felt the pain yet from Nikon, but will in a year.

You can get the D700 at 2729... so pricing doesn't matter too much. Specs are crap. I'd rather buy the A900 even to be honest.

Clearly you haven't seen the sample images at iso 800 from the Sony. Not good at all.

Too long to wait! I sold my 5D last week so I guess it will be the Sony A900 for me in a few weeks.

Highly disappointing except for price and (most likely) noise performance.

well thats too bad for YOU. cuz this camera is exactly what i want. a DSLR that delivers a match in the high ISO benchmark set by the D3 with nearly twice the pixels.

hmm, funny thing about that! i'm not disappointed at all. im excited about getting one!

Great for making really big prints of slow-moving stuff in the dark. ;o)

(Doesn't mean I don't want one though)

So do you think the bottom will fall out on the current 5D prices? I am between a 5D and a D700, but unless the 5D MkII is around $2,000 I won't even consider it.

Ah, give it six months of it not selling as well as it would have done had they beefed up the AF a bit ;o)
