This is really just aimed at NIKON guy.

Some people say that it’s not the camera that makes the photographer and in a lot of situations that is true. But the 5d MKII is a game changer. Unlike a lot of people that comment on this stuff, i do actually make my living shooting photos. I have pre ordered a 5d MKII and I have already pre-sold video work that I have not even done yet that far far exceeded the cost of the camera simply based on peoples belief in me that i can shoot video to a similar standard to my photos. This camera has (for me at least) paid for itself and I have not even received it yet!!!

IF You do not embrace the revolution that is upon us then be prepared to be left behind. Simple as that.

I’m with Obama08… If you’re actually serious about image quality, shoot 8×10! Over 400 megapixels, and you can score a camera for about $300.

Digital is all about convenience, not quality.

Everyone’s all excited about the 5D MkII being 21 megapixels, but that’s the same resolution I get from a 4000 DPI scan of 35mm. You can buy a 35mm Rebel for $15 and get 21MP. Any MF easily beats the MkII, and LF absolutely obliterates it.

But I’m still getting a 5D, because I can take tens of thousands of shots for much less than the cost of buying and developing 120 or 35mm film.

wow, why are to so concerned with what other people decide to spend their money on? It’s just a camera… Who cares…It’s just a camera. (let me repeat) It’s juussst a camera. There’s more things to worry about. You should pull that stick out of your butt Nikon.

The 5dmk2 will be my first dslr! I sold a few of my large format lenses to get a small kit with a few L lenses to go with. I have rented phase one and canon in that past and the iq has come a long way. There’s still nothing like shooting 4×5 8×10! I shoot mostly editorial and advertising. I’ll probably 20 percent of the features, I shoot on manual 90 percent of the time at the lowest ISO setting. So Im not really concerned with all the bells and whistles, I just care about IQ, so I went with canon.

Your car sucks! The manual for your car is only 200 pages. The manual for my car is 472 pages. You overpaid for your car, I clearly got twice the car since my manual is twice as long.

Hey everyone lets try to get along ehh? This site is called “Canon Rumors” lets keep to the topics at hand and try not to bash one another, why are we doing this? No one is making me own and use Canon products, I just do and value any and all information I can obtain about them.

I drive one make of car my neighbour another, I don’t criticize them for not driving the same make as mine. They have options I don’t have, I have some they don’t have but we get along. We all live in the same world.

Can I have a link to the Cheapest price anywhere?

I have seen them for $45…

My point wasn’t that people will RTFM. My point was that the D700 has way more useful features than the 5D2 and this is evidenced by the size of the manual. Virtual horizon, matrix metering, real spot metering, and more (i.e. non-invisible) AF zones are a few examples. 5D2′s measly 9 AF points cause distraction since you have to keep recomposing shots. Cheapest price anywhere for 5D2 batteries is $150 – 4x price of Nikon D700 batteries to recovery camera manufacturing cost. Nikon doesn’t rip off everyone like Canon does. It’s easy to get a cheap D700 now.

Body’s come and go but glass are forever. Nikon has no lens and the one they have are overpriced. the 24-70 from canon is 1100 and from nikon is 1600, so who is ripping who off.

but it’s your money buy whatever you want at the end you have to love what you have and I love canon.
