Those are stunning actually - glad I waited to upgrade

Was going to get the 5D but everybody said wait - now to see how much it is when it actually hits the shops

Very impressive! I wasnt expecting it to be that good!

I think it can be safely said that video on the 5d2 isnt a "gimmicky add-on"

Vincent Laforet made a short film using a pre-production 5D MKII, it looks amasing:

The thing with the 5D is that the AF is crap. 9-point AF is just not good enough for a camera that is retailing at over £2k. It's probably the only (or at least main) reason i'm not gonna buy one.

Wow I'm impressed with those

seems weird how it excels at everythiing else including video, but crap AF, especially for a camera aimed at low light usage.
