Fresh from reading DPReview, anyone notice that batteries, chargers and grip are all new so can\'t be used together with a 5D? That\'s crap, means it\'s a pain in the arse to shoot with one of each. No legacy carryover. No doubt it will need a new RRS L bracket as well .
Happy to see that the camera does have Silent Mode (big boon to wedding shooters shooting candidly) and some weather sealing. 3 C modes is also nice though the auto ISO is very simple, I don\'t know how many people can come close to handholding 21 megapixels at 1/FL except by fluke.
Having the buttons on the left is good, don\'t like the 40/50D layout. Wish the power switch had been moved though, I turn that thing off at least 10-15 times a wedding with shirt buttons.
