Lovely. One more reason for me to set aside $2500 for a 5D.

Wait till mid March. Canon is announcing a new version of the 5D, so the price on the MkII will drop. As it is you can find them in good condition used for around $2,000 or less right now.

Good to know. Thanks for the tip. Lately, seems like every nice video I see online was shot with a 5D. I have a buddy who photographs for Arc'teryx, the 5D is his bread and butter.

It's a solid body, minus the auto focus issues. But if you're not shooting events or fast paced action all the time, it won't ever matter to you. I may buy one myself soon.
