As great Sonshi writes in his "Art of war"........."Any digital camera that our desires are made of will subjugate the camera which limpidly reposes in our battle weary hands."
Behold the words of the sage.

I think so too. I was hoping for something more exciting with this thread but there is nothing in this one to justify me spending my hard earned time on it. More of the same...
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 large eggs,beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• if desired, 1 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix sugar, brown sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl by hand. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. The dough will be very stiff. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans if desired. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown. The centers will be soft. Let cool completely then remove from cookie sheet.
I think 99% of the folks that are "struggling" with the decision of whether to wait for Canon to "fix" the 5D Mark II aren't really "struggling" over that at all. I think their real "struggle" is how they can convince the wife to let them spend $2,700 when they don't have the money and she doesn't want them going into even more debt on the credit card! So, rather than face the fact that their wife wears the financial pants in the family, they drum up all of these excuses as to why they SHOULD wait.

Hard earned time, I like that. The truth is, the image quality of the Mk II is stunning. I'll never look back. You'll have to pry my 5d Mk II from my cold dead hands. I think that recipe needs 3 cups of oats.

You should definitely wait. Never buy a camera, because there will always be something better coming in a few years time. After all, if you bought a camera, you might have to take some time to take some photos...

While financial pressures clearly play a part, the wishlists we keep seeing would indicate that people really want a 1-series for the cost of a 5-series.

Very true, and the problem is other camera companies offer that (not yet for a 20+MP camera, also true).

Wait for a 5D2 replacement? Are you high? It just came out! Life is too short. Buy it now, enjoy it .... and upgrade when the 5D Mk III comes out .... whenever.
Nahhhh - if he's already worried about a replacement for a camera barely a month old then I say he should keep waiting....and waiting....and waiting. I mean if he gets one he might graduate to the ranks of "bitches about perfectly good camera".
