I just love how nobody is pleased with what they have when there is the possibility of something new. At one point people were stoked for the 5DMK2, but then almost immediately decided that it wasn’t good enough b/c of the 7D. Hilarious.
If people spent more than 3 months “testing” the High ISO and frame rate on b/s subjects, they might actually learn to use their camera.
I could go on flickr right now and click on the 1DMK4 photos link and see a bunch of garbage, then click on a 20D link and see beautiful work. I just think its funny that even when someone has an $8K setup in a 1DsMK3, they still have out of focus shots, and crap images in poor lighting… but at least they have award winning AF, low High ISO noise, the ability to shoot at 6400 ISO, dual CF slots, and dual DIGIC processors. Oh, and don’t forget their 2 billion megapixel plat of real estate for their garbage shots at 10fps..
I currently use the 5D Mark II and until something mind-blowing appears, I’ll be using it for a long time. There will always be something new coming and most likely it will be better than what you already have, but do you need it?
