I was so happy with it I bought another with the battery grip. The IQ is awesome for what I do and the AF improvements are also awesome for what I do. The downside was the price and at least I agree there, 2999 was more amenable. However, the shots I'm getting are just as good and I'm getting a higher hit rate than the 5D Mark II for what I'm doing.
So far I'm very happy with mine... it fixes basically everything that drove me crazy about the Mark II. The only thing I don't care for is the new Smart Viewfinder and some other small nit picky items (only USB 2.0, wish custom button configuration offered more options, and I wish it had dual CF slots vs a single CF and a single SD slot).
can you video the sale guys laughing their arses off at you when you tell them you want to return a camera because there is dust on the sensor?
post it on youtube. It will go viral. You will be famous
