they mention make up in the write up but they also mention that for lighting they only use 2 modeling lights the whole time, and yes interchangable lenses is an amazingly convenient feature!

 

ohhh myy godddd

 

Meh. The audio will be awful and focusing will be difficult. Camcorder's aren't good at taking pictures and this SLR probably won't be good for taking video.

 

a lot of the industry is demanding video (for websites) in addition to photos. I think its a great feature to incorporate, but would be nice to see some of the kinks with the video aspect sorted out.

 

pretty cool. I dont think i would get one though, i mean if i had the choice of a $3000 pro camcorder or this.

what the hell is up with this...it does a pathetic 3 fps shooting for pictures, but can do video? doesnt make any sense.

Just like tires, youll never be happy with one that do two jobs...you need your summer sticky icky and your winter M+S.

 

haha, very well put, I guess we'll see when it arrives

 

of course its an amzing feature, and its definitely a travelers camera. I hate walking around clanking my SLR against my camcorder on trips thats for sure! but it would take me 6 months to make the money for a 5DII haha

but for the guy that could buy one every month, no question.

Do you know why they are only 3 fps continuous shooting? some of the high level full frames are 10fps and the old and new 5D are only 3.X fps.

My 20D is 5fps!

 

actually more and more, i am loving the small P&S Canon G10. i am hating carrying equipment for all the occasions with all the lenses and stuff.

 

My 40D does 4/5 FPS, but the 5D is a whole different type of camera, mainly set up for people who use remote lighting and flashes, I had a 5D but sold it right before they lowered the MSRP because of the 5D replacement, I also had a 1D that shot at 8FPS but I probably only used the function once in a blue moon

 

^yeah i want a 40 D cuz you can choose 3 or 6 fps which is good for action that is slow or fast.

HOLY S! somebody needs to screenshot this...since i dont know how...

yeah Nikon fails at competing with the cool P&S market

 

yes they do. anyhow to screenshot anything try SangIt

 

higher FPS is not that attractive to me anymore. i am loving the idea of Full Frame. That is why i am getting the Nikon D700. i just have to have one.

 

Full Frame digital all the way! I can't wait to see what it looks like at 21mp, I thought my 12mp 5D was insane!

 

so youll be able to zoom into ants on the ground from 2 stories up using a 16mm lens?
