i am looking at the eos 5d mark ii but i am worried, it is really a step backwards from the 5d.

Don’t get me wrong, i’ve seen the videos and I am amazed. but VIDEO?

The pitch I hear is that all of the PJ’s were asking for video. BUt I do not know one PJ that relies on the 5d. I do know several that own 5d’s but none that use it as a primary.

IMO the core market has been the Wedding and small shop portrait shooters. The think that i have heard time and time and time again from those people (my colleagues) is. Fix the af ( i get 7:10 images out of focus at 1.2-2.2) give us a little more fps, better high iso (thank you canon)

But at the end of the day it seems like Canon missed the mark. Not with the video they added, but the features that video cannibalized that actual core shooters of this cam are desperately wanting

I am hoping to be proved wrong as i have preordered 2 already

Oh, and this guy is right. Go look at some of Martin Munckacsi's ("Three Boys at Lake " Martin Munckacsi) sports work- about eighty times better than the typical shit you see today, done with no autofocus, no motordrive and probably quite often sheet film, and nowhere near the sensitivity a D3 or 1D Mk. III can pull off.

Damn me, there's only one "c" in Munkacsi. Whoops.

I don't think cannibalized means what you think it does.
