this site was posted by BillLee a while back, i just pulled up the comparo between our two cameras. It's definitely fun to poke around the site to see what's what in photography.

oh wow - that's a great comparison.
the higher ISO, the slightly better IQ, the 51 point focus, sports, color accuracy, 5FPS, higher res screen and build quality are the reasons why i bought the camera - because THAT'S where i need my camera to be best at BUT, i'm secretely in love with the 5D2's friggin HD Video p.s. the ONLY reason i'm a "nikon guy" is because my buddy had one about 5 years ago. IF i would have owned a Canon from the beginning, i'd have a 7D or 5D2 with a couple L lenses. |

But yeah, that D700 has some amaizing qualities But i wouldn't trade my 5D for anything right now.... unless the 5DmkIII came out really soon and perfected all the little issues with the current model. my main issue with the 5D is the focusing system. It's just very out of date. It was out of date when the camera came out. |

anyway, according to canonrumors.com the 5d3 will have a "better" AF system. there isnt much info on it yet but apparently it won't be the one from the 7D. |

if it's an improvement on the 7D autofocus, i'd be stupid not to sell both cameras and get the new version, it would like it even better if it were faster then 3.9 fps too... That's the 2 reasons i bought the 7D to go with my 5D, i figure if you merge the two together for both of their best points, the camera would be near perfect

FWIW...
I think PP on underwater shots is mostly dependent on personal preferences. Do you like the "underwater" look or would you rather have more clarity and even lighting? If you take away too much of the bluish haze, it looks like you just visited the city aquarium. The haze and color are what says "I was there."

I'll be interested to see how big the sensors get in the next versions of these cameras.....

I'm afraid the next generation will be hard to come by until we're another year past the earthquake/tsunami impact. If anyone is on the fence about buying, I'd say buy now, from the current generation, or be prepared for quite a wait. Dave

maybe with all the radiation, some of the leses will morph into something extraordinary, and we'll get special lenses in the future... (poor joke, i know...) yeah, i don't expect much of a pixel increase, but canon has been working on it's 50mp forever, and they supposedly have a 120mp sensor somewhere in the works, but i suspect the 120 would be used for cinema or something. but it wouldn't suprise me to see a 50 make it into the next 1D or some new format of camera in the next few years. I think as of now, since nikon and sony both have over 24mp sensors in their line ups, we might see something close to 30 especially since Lica even has a 30+ megapixel and Haselblad has something like a 50-60. I'd rather they spend the time on increasing image quality rather then showing up other companies for size. size doesn't necessarily matter (but it definitely helps) it's how you use it. |

Well, the 'blad has a lot more real estate to cram pixels on. (Twice as much area, I think I recall).
Pixel-pitch vs. noise will continue to improve, such that they maybe push the 5D3 up over 25mp, gaining detail resolution and keeping great high-ISO performance. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the 5D MkIII only has only a small increase in pixels and most of the change is improving the video (which has already been a big hit for them) and, hopefully, bringing the AF performance up close to the 7D. (They can't make it too good or they'll kill sales of the 1Ds.) With the yen up and severe shortages likely, I'm really glad that I've got my 5D2 and my 7D. I have NOTHING to complain about. That combination of cameras is like a dream come true for me. Time for someone to post a picture. Here's one I took Sunday afternoon. Another 700mm hand-held, but this time in a 30-mph wind that made it really hard to hold on: Snowy egret hunts in creek by dcstep, on Flickr I think size mattered here, but I'm talking about my lens, not my pixel-count.

patiently awaiting the 5DIII release and HPFP failure Eventually it will come and the Canon better have superior autofocusing.

All that skill and high end camera equipment and you post a crappy shot like that?
Where's Prof. Rodi? He needs to see this. (What is that stuff, btw?)

I think it's the stabelizing mount for the suction cup mount he bought a while back to strap to his car.
