I just had a read of the official press release on Canons latest addition to the EOS range the Canon 5D Mark II on their US website. There has been a lot of speculation on what the camera is going to have. After reading the article I can honestly say the specs this camera has is amazing.
Anyone want to buy my 1ds Mark II (Haha)

Matt,
Could be enough to make me swap camps huh… Anyone want a good D300 kit…
Im very keen mate.
Just reading some more… 3.9 fps….. what are Canon thinking ?
Reading the specs, you can see they cut some big corners to save on cost and prevent it competing with the 1Ds mkIII (which I own). Slow fps, unexciting AF and a steel body instead of magnesium. The HD mode will also cook the electronics with such a large sensor, increasing image noise. I think Canon took their eye off just who uses the 5D. Not bad though.
