I don\'t see anything wrong with that either. I suspect that Canon had not paid too much on the AF feature, and the 5D II was put together somewhat hastily .... and they just couldn\'t take the risk of putting out a brand new AF system that has not been thoroughly tested. They cannot afford another 1D III blunder as their reputation will do down the toilet, so they went with a proven system and loaded up the Mk II with other features instead, to make it attractive and desirable .... and I think it worked, judging by the mostly positive response to the 5D II.

Personally I don\'t see anything wrong with demanding better and more. When you look at the upgrade to the camera overall and then see the AF standing still, it is a wee bit odd, if not disappointing. I don\'t think it\'s an excessive reaction.
