I hate the 5DII and the brick....
I need more money. Very nice quality even at 2.8

I love my 5D2 with my 70-200mm f/4L IS.

Don't miss that extra stop or the extra weight and bulk.

1.6-2.5ish sec exposures.

I was only riding the clutch in those shots too

I did one at 1/5th and it blew ass.

[rodi]

if you make a triangle on the hood instead of a line as you have there, you'll be able to take some longer exposures.

[UdubBadger]

yeah, for that shot I was more concerned with side to side shake. I had it attached at like 4-5 different spots on the car today. Drove around in rush hour traffic with it on too.

Jealousy.
Both items have such superior image qualities when I get them I'll be as happy as signing on the line at the BMW dealership getting some other car. At least I know I'll be able to get the camera before another car.

ahhhhh, i see

The two of them together make a very nice pair for walk around use (aside from the weight)

I'd recomend though as soon as you get it, get a side strap for it to take the weight off your neck, it is needed.

And the auto-focus isn't the end of the world depending what you were shooting with before/currently. You just need to learn how to get it's attention. If i'm focusing on something and it doesn't grab focus right away, i refocus on the side of the object where the object and the background intersect and i can get focus almost instantly.

People that sit there and let the focus hunt, they aren't aiming at something that has some contrasting elements. Makes all the difference in the world.

this is where the conversation in the other "general photograhy" thread is interesting right now. I will pick a contrasty part on my subject, then recompose slightly, and i will then do a slight manual adjustment if needed.

either way, I pick up my 5D before i pick up my 7D about 9 out of 10 times. But it really depends what i'm shooting that day.

the 2 lenses i always have attached to my 2 bodies are the 24-70 and the 16-35 (which i'm in love with)

[Weebl]

LOL.
Now I officially hate you for having two of the best zooms.
I will pick out the edges and fine tune if needed just like you posted. It works!
I'm dying to see what the 5DIII will have vs the MkII. I hope it gets the 1D auto focusing. Then I will have to buy it.

I wonder how many pints of blood that will take?

look at it this way, when people like me have lots of toys that you like the looks of, we can give good reviews and advice from experience with these products

I really hope the 5D3 gets the 1D auto focusing system, and the infra red flash remote built in or even get a built in radio controlled one (that's wishful thinking) I really like the remote flash control on the 7D, so it would be nice to see on the new 5. After that, there really isn't much else it needs other then to update the video stuff, but that's about it.

a dream on the other hand, change the metal body to a carbon fiber body and lose some excess weight but when a lens is on, it's pretty well balanced.

good point, these cars get looks, and yours with all the work done must get some extra looks.

2000? Or 200?

[The1]

2000 that's how the 5D2 handles

That's majorly impressive. Virtually no noise.

that's ever so slightly noisier then the original because i bumped up exposure a tad, left of her face was a little dark... But DxO does pull some noise out too...

But that's the reason why we use the 5D mkIIs i can get higher ISO then that and still print a nice 8x10 wouldn't want to go much larger then that though.
