The 5DII was innovative ONLY in video terms, which is great for video guys, but this is a photography forum and in terms of photo features the D700 kicked its ass every which way, instead of taking the 5D and adding a bit in every direction, the D700 was genuinely innovative, and Canon was criticised, quite rightly, for being more conservative than its main rival.
Canon is, by a decent margin, the largest D-SLR company, and it got there by being innovative, it introduced a new lens mount when playing it safe would have been easier.
Canon in the last 4 years has been the OPPOSITE of innovative, they\'ve played it incredibly safe at a time when Nikon has been very clever and innovative, and Canon are, again quite rightly, being criticised by the users of their products for not offering products as good.
I do agree with a fair amount of this though and have been saying as much for years (although we do differ on the 24-70 II, an dyes, of course I\'d prefer it to be priced a bit lower, but it was to be expected and the performance hinted at appears to much better than expected).
