Let us know
I have yet to handle a production 5D Mark II (boo), so I have no first hand knowledge of the issue. What about the ones of you that have?

dont have black anomalies
[x] There is a black hole where my 5DII should be :)
Had a look at a shot I took of the sunset the other night an it looks fine to me *phew* all the house and street lights in the shot look fine and the glow of light surrounding them is consistent all the way around.
Having said that I will be keeping an eye out for it. Hopefully it only effects a small number of cameras and is fixable! Interesting to see comments people have noticed it on the 1Ds mk3 as well. I have never heard of this complaint until last night, nor did I notice it during my short period of use of a 1Ds3 a couple of months ago.
Picked up a 5D Mark II today in Kuala Lumpur. I was told only 30 in all of Malaysia. I bought the third and last one the shop had. Sold out in less than 24 hours.
I had heard about the black dots but I bought anyway. Definitely can see them, but really, they are so small. You can barely see them at 100% and to be sure you have to use at least 200% or 300%. A quick photo of Christmas lights in the mall; not a complete test by any means, but I am pretty sure there will be some on the net before long. My intepretation of the problem is that a quick fix will be likely from Canon for the RAW files at least. A hardware fix may be longer in coming.
I got my auto-iso and I got my RAW in idiot mode (for when my wife takes my picture – ahem). I am a happy camper.
The IQ is outstanding.
