It sure is easy to separate the gear hobbyists from the real photographers around here... Canon\'s lineup now includes at least one of everything, except for a $2600 1DsMk3, which is what most of you are complaining the 5D2 isn\'t! You\'re crying, \"Canon is making us pay for features!\" Can you believe it? How strange! It seems you may have not bought a car lately. You\'re in for a huge downer if you want the GPS system or leather. This is the way it works people... Of and by the way if you want 45 AF points and you want to shoot Canon, you have 2 incredible options to choose from! If you really NEED 45 AF points, then you probably need 10fps/weather sealing/dual cards/etc anyways... Or you could just complain some more.
For me, I\'ll probably sell my 1Ds3 for the 5D2, as I primarily use my 1Ds3 for landscape/commercial/travel and it will be nice to save the weight (and the money). And of course I will keep my 1D3 as it is the ideal sports/event/wedding camera. What incredible versatility in a two camera combo. I\'ll have speed/performance, resolution, robustness or light weight, depending on the assignment/job at hand. Simply perfect.
You guys continue the whine session, which is fine because it\'s keeping me entertained. It\'s like watching Cops, \"Better you than me\"!

If you want all the features Canon can offer, step up to the price of the 1DsIII. If your budget doesn\'t allow weather sealing, Pro AF, etc... just use what you got and improvise. It\'s the way the world works, you want a better camera? pay for it.
