Im waiting for a new camera right now, not to thrilled with the 1.6 but Ill take a good AF system over an antiquated 5D2 AF system anyday. Decisions, Decisions...
The 5D2 consistently impresses me with its ability to nail focus in demanding situations. Antiquated or not, it works.

Well, aside from the lack of video, I think it pretty much is equal to the 5D II and I do think that Canon takes Sony seriously, So if Sony is going to establish $2000 as the price point for admission to full frame, Canon has to have an answer to that. And a year from now, the 5D II is going to be looking a little old, with sales bound to drop when they bring out a 3D. So it seems logical to me to drop the price of the 5D II to $2000. The alternative would be to design a new full frame camera for that price point, but it would have to have basically the same specs as the 5D II in order to compete with the Sony. ...Show more →

Competition is great & I would love to see the 5DII drop in price but your speculation assumes that Canon Corp will see the Sony 850 as an equal to the 5DII forcing them to be competitive in pricing ...I don't think Canon Corp will necessarily see it like that unless there is a dramatic nose dive in 5DII sales.
