Re: 5DII failures on LL Antarctic trip
BTW, the odds are quite interesting if you plan to take 5D2\'s to the antarctic. The important question is how many 5D\'s do you need to take to get a certain likelihood of at least one camera continuing to work. It goes like this:
2 cameras: 93.75%
3 cameras: 98.4%
4 cameras: 99.6%
5 cameras: 99.9%
Perhaps this is all part of Canon marketing\'s cunning plan to sell more bodies. This has serious implications for me as a wedding photographer. I have bought 2 5D2\'s, but I can\'t afford to take a 1% chance that I will have to stop working altogether at a wedding. As a result, I will almost certainly have to buy a 450D and possibly a third 5D2, although at that rate the D700 is looking all the more attractive.
