I'm really tempted to order a 5D MKII on Friday and was wondering if anyone here has one/used one and would like to share their opinions. It's going to be an upgrade from a 40D, I almost bought a 50D but decided against it from what I've read.

Also it would be nice if someone with the 5D MKII could send me a full res sample shot. The only one's I've seen so far are on the Canon website, all the other have been web'tised.


Thanks

Jase

P.S. Happy New Year !! :)
 
Hi mate, thanks for the reply. I don't have MSN but just sent you an Email.

Cheers

I'd rather wait for a while to (1) Wait until any potential bugs are sorted with the cameras and (2) Wait for the price to come down a bit!
 
Canon already acknowledged 2 rather serious bugs on the MkII, they are working on the new firmware (check dpreview.com)

Quite....as I feared. I would never buy anything electronic that is new to the market for this very reason.
 
Mmmm OK maybe it's worth waiting a month or so then for everything to be sorted :( Had rather hoped to get it this weekend but maybe the wait will be worth it.

Thanks for the links to, I've looked on dpreview before but didn't notice the download original option, dohh.

A month you must be joking. Pre Production shots by Vincent LaForet have the black dot problem and that was months ago. In my opinion is going to go the same was as the 1D MKIII.
