Or just keep the 5DII
In reply to Matt Shelton, 6 months ago

Until the 5DIV (or 5Dx or 3D or whatever...) arrives.

I own a 5DII and when 5DIII was announced i was hell-bent on getting it. Why? i said,same mp count & few years of development = 2 stops lower noise at ISO>6400. Plus i expected that 5DIII was going to follow 5D and 5DII initial pricing, $2,5K

But once the review came out, total disappointment. Pay $2K (considering you can get $1,5K for selling the 5DII) for what?

I have used a fellow photographers 5DIII and it basically gives me nothing but a better AF and a new metering system. Not even a 7D built in wireless flash transmitter? WTF? And then this MAP joke? No thanks. I'll keep my 5DII.
