Can anyone recommend a nice leather (not too wide) camera strap for the 5d MKII? I'm looking for something a bit more stylish than the stock one.

I made a video for how to fix a squeaky 5d MKII / 5D CF door here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3itxqjtSMY I hope this helps!

Better build quality, and longer which is important if you like to wear it diagonally across your chest.

Same here. that's exactly what I'm doing as well, works quite well and nice strap.

Thanks for the info. The Rode I'm actually thinking about is this one: http://www.amazon.com/Rode-VideoMic-Directional-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B0007U9SOC/

Yes I basically do.

I want to do some product demos/review videos. What type of mic is best for that? If wireless lav, any models I should consider that are 'best bang for the buck'? I know the Rode seems good...

I put a UV filter on mine and just leave it there all the time. Here's how it looks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-2IzM7Rx2s

"Very Good" can mean some accessories are missing or the box is missing. Also, those showed minor cosmetic damage to the camera bodies as well. Further, no manufacturer warranty. Not worth it IMO.

And then theres' titanium too I guess.

If you want to see what a 'normal' black UV filter looks like installedl on the X100, see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-2IzM7Rx2s

I can't decide which M9 to get. What are some of the pros and cons for the steel grey version versus the black version?

Oh yeah I forgot about that fact. That's a biggie.

Is there any reason not to leave macro mode on all the time? It can still focus at farther distances with it on.

I found this thread via a search. Mine didn't have any dust when new but does now after only a few weeks. It's quite noticeable when looking at the viewfinder from the front. I'm not going to worry...

I'm using this same Domke Gripper strap but with the stock Fuji triangles and leather lug protector pieces. I found the ones that came with the Domke are too big and get in the way of my finger...
