Does anyone know how the 5D does compared to the MKII?
It seems that the 5D can be had for a song right now so on paper seems a better financial decision.
There was a similar question asked recently on FM forums. I seem to remember that a chap who'd moved from a mk1 to a mk2 suggested the following improvements:
- Improved resolution, though he didn't seem that bothered by it
- better dynamic range (he did like that)
- more accurate colours
- better metering
- faster frame rate
- better weather sealing
- improved rear screen
- faster write speed to memory card
- 1080p video capability (which he wasn't bothered about, but it's there)
About the only thing he said that didn't feel was improved was the AF capability, which I have to say would make me think twice about it.
I also love my 5D, but having come from a 1D, sometimes feel a bit frustrated about the AF capability on the 5D. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, but it's simply not as good as a 1 series and that leaves me wondering about a D700, which I see as a 5d with the AF it deserves.
