1. low light 2. FF 3. autofocus

In reply to Kevin Coppalotti, Nov 26, 2011

I shoot lots of photos indoor - my kids and dogs. Low light performance like D3S has been my dream. Super fast/accurate focus is a must as well since my subjects move fast. I have been eyeing 5DmkII for a while but the poor (reported) autofocus performance stopped me.

for my money, 1Dx is the best offer from current market. It's a no brainer.
