he was replying to what i said. "d3x better be better than 1dsmrk3"

I know...

sorry i've misunderstood you then, i thought u thought he was comparing 5d and the d3x lol

Anyone actually get their 5D MK II yet? Like their own personal one at home?

...BESIDES Senna?? :)

I just picked up my Canon 5D MK II today. So pre-order. Just picked it up from Broadway Camera. They had one, so i got it! So excited! Can't use it today. I have Wednesday off. Looking forward to it!

I got my hands on the 5DMII today at Akihabara. Don't like the shutter sound, and the camera isn't that great. Wasn't impressed at all!

I played around with a couple of expensive lenses though, the 85 1.2L and the famous 200 F2 <-- I WANT!!!! 830,000Y = 8,300 USD brand new.
At 2.0, the lens is UBER sharp still!

No post work at all!

how come you weren't impressed?

You wern't impressed and all you can comment on is the sound it makes when you press the shutter??

What's up with what you dislike about the camera?
What do you typically shoot with.

Cheers,

He shoots with the 5D. The 5D mkII isn't really an improvement in speed or handling compared to the 5D, and the 21MP is way more than what you really need for most shooting scenarios.

continous fps is the only thing I dislike about the 5d markii on paper, but I've never used one before :(

The camera didn't feel all that great in my hands. Even though it was lighter by a little bit, it felt bigger and less ergonomic. The big screen and auto ISO is a nice touch.

I didn't get to much time with it, just 5 minutes.

Hey mananetwork, I checked out your blog, great pictures from Asia!

Thank you. I'm so behind though. I only posted Day 8 and I'm on day 22 now.
The blogs are getting longer and more detailed. Soon to be posted day 9 is big!

I might not upgrade. Save some money for a 85 1.2 or a 200 F2 :D

$6140CDN for the 200 f2. :damn:

It's cheaper then here!
The price is 759,000Yen or 7590USD or 8500ishCND

You should check out the Nikon D700 :D

wow, you look different in that pic, lol. the hair or shaven? haha

^ I think both! I'm at least one month overdue on the haircut

Another 200 F2 IS shot

That 85mm 1.2 would be nice... But me no got 2Gs for that lens :(

d700 and a 135f/2 defocus. You will never look back :D

I got my pre-order 5D markII a month ago, and so far its been great!
Compare to 1Ds MarkII, the color isnt that accurate, nor as sharp, it sure aint as solid. But, its got faster processor, high iso range, huge screen, and lighter.
I do full time wedding photography, and 1Ds are just too heavy when I carry it over 13 hrs a day, and battery life arent that great either.
I think its a good upgrade if anyone is getting into full-frame SLR and its CHEAP :D

Can we see some of your work?
