Finally New Canon 5DMKII!
Hey all,
I’ve been seriously waiting for this for a while now. To the point where, this last week, I actually started spending a good amount of time thinking about dumping my Canon gear and going Nikon (D700). It’s still a nice thought because I still miss the ergonomics of Nikon cameras.
But just in the nick of time Canon announced the 5DMKII. This is an upgrade to the classic 5D, my current main camera. This update will give me higher ISO (better low light) pictures and more megapixels. Not actually all that excited for 21 mp…it doesn’t really add to that much difference it’s actually only a 25% increase in resolution. It will let me go a bit bigger in portraits so look for some enlargements in the future.
Also, it’ll allow for HD movie shooting! That sounds kind of cheesy on one hand, but is incredibly cool on the other. I can shoot some artsy stuff with my 85 1.2 for ultra shallow depth of field movies…pretty nice.
I’m sold at this point right now (unless somone will give me a bunch of Nikon gear). I’ll buy this and a 50D when they are released.
