5d MK2 rawks my socks off

At the CPPA meeting on 9-17-08, we were treated to something special. We were among the first people in the USA not affiliated with Canon to see the new 5D mk2.

All I can say is that I want one. Bad. Like sell a kidney bad.

Forgetting about the kick butt resolution. 5d Image quality that we have grown accustomed to and expect. Even forgetting the fact that they kept in the incredible direct print button.

I am soooooooooooooooo jacked about the video capabilites of this camera.

I know you're thinking whoa there kemosabe. You're a photographer not a videographer. Well I was thinking this could broaden the range of products that photographers offer, and even for cool marketing things you could do or put on your website.

But the proof is in the pudding and here is a sample of a 5d video.

that's some pretty tasting pudding if you ask me.

I was about to sell a kidney to the get Nikon D700. Then Canon announces this thing, and now I am all confused again. Will the Nikon/Canon debate ever end? LOL!

Great blog by the way. Come check out mine. I posted today about the Orphan Works bill, which you might be interested to read.
