absolutely no point in comparison shots, there is so little difference even at 100% it's not worth the bandwidth!

Also, Ady now has the camera not me

It's just a shame Canon cant seem to release a camera at the minute without there being some irritating but significant flaw.

And you've easily just guaranteed another decade, easily

'ecky thump!

So using a 5D MKII for product shots etc. for printing big and uploading to stock sites (which ask for 50MB TIFFs), will produce a result that's as comparible to a MKIII but for half the price?

I'm (almost) sold!

Are you referring to the 'black dot' problem on the 5D II? Or is there another problem I haven't heard about?

DXOMark actually has the 5D2 down as having a better signal to noise ratio across the board, slightly less dynamic range at ISO100, same at 200, and then notably more with the gap increasing up and beyond 400, greater tonal range across the board, with colour sensitivity immensely close with the advantage to the 1DS3. Basically, get a print from either, you couldn't tell them apart unless you guessed lucky. Comparible is almost the wrong word, that implies there is a difference, it's more like identical.

Very nice purchase there
