I didn\'t say I wanted a small pro body with all pro features. I would like small full-frame body with improved AF. Would sacrifice many of the bells and whistles ( weathersealing, 21MP, video) for that type of camera. Nikon happens to make exactly such a camera, the D700, and I think it\'s totally appropriate to talk about it in this thread. I am not interested in switching systems, but if Canon made something equivalent, I would buy it. Thanks.
Exactly. What good is ISO 6400 or 12800 if the lens just hunts back and forth and gives up? They had 3 years to recognize that all 9 AF points are stuck in the middle and didn\'t, but at the same time put 9 reasonably well placed cross points in the 40D and 50D. Do these guys even use their own cameras in lower light?
If I wanted a video camera, I\'d buy one. I would certainly buy a video camera with more than a 12 minute max record time. I would have ABSOLUTELY NO objection to a 16MP FF camera with well placed cross sensors and ISO 6400+ priced at $3000.
I shoot weddings, and I am frustrated with my 1dm2 because of slow AF response times in poorly lit reception halls. Yeah, that\'s right - in good light my 1dm2 blows me away, but in piss-poor light I miss enough shots to be annoyed. I\'m not going to play a $4000 lottery with a mk3, and the 5dm2 has the same stupid AF as the original 5d.
Have you owned and shot with a 5D? Just wondering how you thought it work for you in lowlight light for your customers. If you just have a 1D2 and a 20D to back it up, and the 1D2 sucks for you in lowlight. Are you doing a disservice to your customers? Just wondering.
If you\'re not going to play lottery and the MkII isn\'t up to your standard, what are you going to do?
My 5D\'s focus much better in low-light at weddings than my MKIIN ever did. In decent light, sure the MKIIN was much better in servo, but quite the opposite in lower light.
