True, yet still not sure if I should actually upgrade to a D700 over a 5dmkii

Sounds like a 5D is for you.

Mk1 or do you mean the mk2? I might just put off buying something until january lol

An Exception · 27 Sep 2011 at 18:46

If you buy now, I'd get a mk1 as it shouldn't lose much value...

It's a 7D2 I tell ya. My sisters husbands cousins uncle has been making the 7D2 boxes!

Most likely the 5D3 as the price of the ii has been falling a lot recently.

Come to daddy

Phate · 28 Sep 2011 at 17:45

If that's in reply to my post then I'll pass thanks

Raymond Lin · 28 Sep 2011 at 17:48

No thanks Jake....SS will be upset if I did.

Clown · 28 Sep 2011 at 17:54

I'll believe it when I see it.

Especially about how badly he's been performing really, no matter how many times I tell him role play just isn't my thing.

Its terrible to say no to the incredible hulk

A 5DIII can only mean good things for second hand MkII prices.

Andy90 · 28 Sep 2011 at 20:26

It wouldn't be a good thing for my bank balance though, since I've promised myself when the 5D MkII successor is released I'll go full frame

Clown · 28 Sep 2011 at 20:33

Is it wrong to get one before my hobby even pays for itself?

1. Load film
2. Take photos
3. Appreciate how smooth film advance lever is, such mechanical precision, yadda yadda
4. Realise that the film has somehow slipped out of the take up spool when you've suddenly 'taken' 36 shots on a 24 shot roll.

Damn it, it finally happened to me.

Probably sell one of mine and buy twi Mkiii and keep one as spare.

If we get what we all want - a Newer, better AF.......Then it will be a great camera. Just hope they don't mess up the tonal feel of the sensor.

I'm about to raid my piggy bank to buy a car and get mobile again.

******* moral dilemmas

Ha, closest i've had is where instead of folding back on itself and winding round the spool, the little tab on the end of the roll snapped off. I heard it though and i knew something was up so i wound it back in and managed to salvage most of the roll, so not quite the same. My first encounter with film retrieval methods though
