I just simply cannot believe that they didn\'t change the shutter lag and viewfinder blackout.. it blows my mind.. and the fact that the AF is the same old system after all this time. It\'s crushing.
The only way that Canon can please everybody is to market just ONE DSLR .... and have everything in it .... for $1,999. I don\'t think that is going to happen .... EVER.
The way I see it, this 5D Mk II is $600 cheaper than the 5D (3 years ago) .... and it has the following improvements over the original 5D:
21.1 megpixels new sensor
Digic IV image processor
Reduced microlens gap
14-bit A/D converter
ISO 100-6400 (Expanded 50-25600)
High-def 1080p video/movie
98% viewfinder coverage
ISO display on top plate
New/improved 1800 mAh battery
Partial weather sealing
AF micro-adjustment <20 lenses
2 silent modes
3\" VGA screen with auto brightness
Self cleaning sensor
Live view mode
4 frames per second
2 sRAW modes (10 or 5mp)
3 custom modes/presets
Auto lighting optimization
Supports UDMA CF cards
HDMI connector
And much more ....
