steve_brantley2 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 The main http://wwwcanoneos.com/consumer web site now shows the new body, with the name 5D Mark II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_amberson1 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Its up on the Canon EOS site in the camera section. They've unveiled it. It wasnt there 30 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_amberson1 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 It says 21 MP, full HD video(who cares), 3.9 fps ISO up to 25600. New 3" screen of course. A new viewfinder and 9 point Af w/6 assist points. Nothing ground breaking until we see some real images from this thing. I cant believe they went 21MP. The feature set is about what most predicted though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_amberson1 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Too bad the lens rumor wasnt true. I really wanted the 24-70 f2.8 IS. Oh well. Still no price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo_dark Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I. for one, will be buying one :) And contrary to all the hoopla, i'm actually quite excited about the video feature. Not that it's needed, but it certainly is welcome. As far as the 24-70 is concerned.... that 24 1.4L II sure looks nice :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_amberson1 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Yeah, I just never found much need for 1.4 on a wide angle like the 24mm. If Im ever at 24mm, I am also at f8-13 shooting landscapes. I guess it could have some place though. I imagine 1.4 on a wide angle is quite soft though as wides are inherently soft. That said, I dont own wide primes so maybe they are quite a bit sharper. None the less, if the noise levels look good, then it will be a great upgrade for some. I wonder what 25,600 looks like. Hope its not totally useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Price is $2700. Lower than I'd expected ($3000) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nksyoon Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Interesting rendering at 1.4 with a 24mm:<br> <br> <A HREF="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1336/535062527_28bf87cf70_o.jpg">http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1336/535062527_28bf87cf70_o.jpg</A> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zml Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Another day, another battery, another charger...Let's see, if "fully armed" I travel with the charger for LP-E4 (a big brick) for 1Ds3/1D3, BP-511 (40D) and a charger for the NP-E3 (for 1Ds2.) That's 3 chargers - 2 of them as big as the 40D... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissyone Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 The new LP-E6 looks almost exactly like the NB-2L batteries for the XTi. I can see this causing me to scream in anger some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
