I use to shoot sports, and I don\'t think I\'ve ever used a 1/8000s shutter speed in my life. I rarely used anything beyond 1/2000s. Unless you\'re trying to shoot a portrait at f/1.2 in full harsh sunlight, I fail to see why people are complaining about the top shutter speed.
You don\'t need to be at f1.2. At f1.6 you\'re just about there with 1/8000th, so f2.5 for 1/4000th (unless my maths is wrong this late )
I\'d say that presents at least an occasional problem for a fair number of people who use primes.
This is a problem for me and my 200 1.8. I love the look of shooting wide open in bright sun. I don\'t do it a lot, but I would hate to lose the option. I am interested in the high iso and low light center AF with interchangeable screens. If I can get RAW 6400 on the 6D to be as clean as RAW 3200 on 5DII (with low banding) I may get one, but not in the initial release. I may skip this generation and wait for the next big thing from canon. The 5DIII is not that appealing to me because I don\'t shoot a lot of action and the focusing screen can\'t be changed. I like shooting my 100 Zeiss Makro Planar on my EG-S screen. I can shoot with my 50 1.2 in the \"dark\" (6400, or H1 an 1.2 and 1/50th) manual focus and get a decent hit rate.
