What don't you like about your 5DmkII?

Nov 2, 2010

I really want one, but the possibility of a mkIII coming out soon next year is a deterrent, especially since I already have a camera that works just fine (7D) ...

Even if the mkIII comes out, I might end up going with the mkII because it will be cheaper at that time.

Just wanted to see what the opinions of those who use the camera is regarding auto focus, and other things I might not be aware of.

I'm only aware that the images this camera produces are unrivaled as far as my wallet can afford anyway.
