But I have 2 things to ad... EV on mark II. suppose to be much wider on paper at least • AF working range: -0.5 - 18 EV (at 23°C, ISO 100)source www.dpreview.com , so measuring real EV in practical use is very important thing to be determined. I hope it is more than 10EV which is same like Fuji Velvia and that is not very wide range. Pixels and Dynamic range were 2 things evolving since the beginning of the DSLRs which made biggest difference and progress. My mark II. produced great landscape photos but I still didn't meter EV range. Second thing I have noticed and it is not in the review is that ISO 50 is absolutely stunning, much better than 100 which wasn't the case on mark 1. Interesting how many people would shoot auto ISO and set up time and aperture and use ISO to compensate exposure - it is almost like point and shoot :) but for photojournalist and some sport photographers it is good feature on camera body, I don't miss it on mark II personally.

Thanks. Where I'm coming from (D60!!!) anything will be a HUGE improvement. Merry Christmas BTW my camera has not arrived due to some delays in shipments from Toronto :-( @ Chris L. Thanks.

I am rather surprised and disappointed that Canon has not been able to make better progress in the sensor dynamic range department.

Claude, despite all the disappointing things about the 5Dmk2, you will be very surprise of the other wonderful improvement on the camera. I was able to take some wonderful pictures under normal condition. However, I had to basically experiment the best settings (aperture, shutter, ISO, W/B, etc) on the 5Dmk2 for a clear sharp image based on the glass used. The 40D I knew exactly what setting to use from the get go. But, taking on this beast took a little more time because of the wide range of features I had to learn. Overall, I love the 5Dmk2 and looking forward to more wonderful pictures. By the way, love your portrait pictures. Great job. Merry Christmas to all! Excellence review!

I like the way the reviewer compares the MkII with other bodies based on field use. I am told I should get mine today so, in the meantime, I have been keeping myself entertained by all the reviews out there. You are correct, this review is the most interesting I’ve read so far.
