We are going to begin a panic over the inability of the camera to handle terribly blown unusable photos when shots anywhere close to normal exposure are perfect. I agree with Mattbn and Monochrome, truly laughable.

Word on the street is that if you actually connect the black dots on these blown out shots, it actually spells out \"Learn how to use your camera.\"

It\'s always the cameras fault.
I started this thread in the interest of having an intelligent discussion on what I felt was a legitimate issue with the 5D Mark II. Nobody has an explanation why these black dots are there, or why they only appear exactly on the right side of blown highlights. But based on these kinds of replies, I can see this thread devolving into something quite nasty. I\'m sorry I ever brought it up.
As a resident of the SF area, the light pattern on these building is caused by how the lights are installed on the buildings. This isn\'t the best image to see the effect, but even in the best images, the pattern of these lights will come through and cause a pattern. If I am passing anywhere near Treasure Island, I take a minute and shoot the shot on my 5DII.

This photo is junk, but even in the best images, the pattern of these lights will come through and cause a pattern. If I am passing anywhere near Treasure Island, I take a minute and reshoot the shot correctly with my 5DII.
