5D - What do you hate about it?

Dec 8, 2007

I plan to buy a 5D, or wait for the successor. I've read up on it and know the image quality, build quality, speed, full frame sensor and speed are awesome (or enough for me).

What i want to know is what you HATE (or really dislike, get annoyed at, etc) with the 5D. I've read a short review by pro photographer Ken Rockwell here:
http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/5d-d200.htm

I think he had great input on the poor quality, visibility of the LCD, and it's less than ideal "usability". He likes the camera but fairly states it's weaknesses.

Please give me your 2cents... I'm looking for more input to help me learn about this camera.

Thanks!
Fawad
