The non-lighting focus point, in and of itself, makes me hesitant to buy the camera.
does the AF point not light up at all?
I believe it does still blink momentarily when focus is achieved.
Nope. Like I said, drives me batty. It\'s a MAJOR problem for me, so much so that using the 5D2 and 5D3 back to back I ended up having a lot more in focus shots with the 5D2 because I\'d want to use outer points with the 5D3 to use it\'s strengths but I can\'t see the damn focus point. I certainly wish the 5D2 had the ISO performance of the 5D3 but I need in focus shots first and foremost.
It\'s the same sensor!!!!! Same RAW ISO performance. Only difference is that the 5d3 has a very aggressive JPEG noise reduction default setting. You people really need to see past the LIE canon told you all about the ISO performance of the 5d3 to make it sound like they significantly changed anything other than the AF module...
Are you saying the 5d2 and 5d3 have the same sensor? I cannot believe that for a moment. The difference in images from the 5d2 and 5d3 are substantial...not even factoring in high iso. But, at high iso\'s the 5d2 iamges are so bad with shadow noise that no amount of in-camera jpg noise reduction is going to save it. We still have a 5d2 in use along with our 3\'s, and I am regularly editing images of the exact same setup from both camera...totally different results. I cannot stand the 5d2 images any more. I am about to drop it for (most likely) a 6d
