Sure, the 5DMKII should have been able to shoot more than 3.9 fps. It should have had 18mp instead of 24. I wonder how the market will react to the 7D. I think it is bogus to call an APS-C camera a 7D, no matter how many pixels it may have and no matter how many frames per second it can shoot. It is quite a let down to learn that it is going to be APS-C.
yes, but would you have been willing to wait until this year to get it?
Spoken like a true dpreviewer.
Yeah, I could have waited until now. I would even be willing to upgrade if Canon were to announce a similarly spec'ed full-frame camera. Unfortunately, the 5D Mark II is only a year old and won't see an update for another two.
Yeah, that's a big one for me. Dealing with the ST-E2 is a bit of a pain. Honestly, I think that Canon should move to a built-in RF transmitter.
Yes, it is what I wanted apart from the small sensor. But honestly, its the perfect camera for lots of applications. Wildlife/Birders are going to go nuts for this. And continuing on that positive note, it looks like the engineers finally started listening to what people said about previous cameras (or they just got tired of being a sad second to Nikon as far as usability in lots of areas goes).
Chuckles .. I doubt 90% of the people in this forum with no hindsight would be able to wait .. and nothing really states that a 5DIII could not appear .. as long as it's after the 1Ds Mark IV gets released.
then what's the D300s then?
I already paid $500 more for the original 5D when it first came out. If the 5D Mark II had similar features for $500 more then I think that would be acceptable.
Maybe.
