Wow after reading through this forum and seeing everyone trash this camera it just makes me laugh. What the hell did you possibly want? A 1DsMark III with a $2700 price tag? I will be getting one of these.
Here, here!
You can certainly tell the photographers from the spec-nerds. All of the moaners here are clearly deluded in their expectations of what Canon was going to offer here. Want a 1DsIII? Go buy one if that is what you seek in a camera..simple. I think Canon now offers a camera body to suit every photographer\'s need. So if you want more than you can afford..work harder.
Personally, I have waited (and, yes, waited) for the 5D\'s replacement and the MkII will provide me (as far as I can tell reading the specs) with everything I require in a camera, and then some, for the money I want to spent. Had it not, I would have spent a bit more and got a 1 series body. Except for the flash-sync, the MkII has all features I had expected. This looks to be a near perfect blend of features for the price. I couldn\'t, realistically, have expected more. Some people, typically, expect far too much it would appear and won\'t ever be pleased.
The 24mm f/1.4 II looks great and was needed as well. Here\'s hoping a 35mm f/1.4 II isn\'t too far away!
