First blush with the Canon 5D mkII
I can has more megapixels?
Yes, 21.
And HD video too?
Yes.
Cool.
Overall, I’m super impressed with the new 5D, in many ways it’s an incremental refining of an already amazing camera. They added weather seals (not the bomb proof seals of the 1D series, but good enough for light rain), an AF-ON button and AF micro adjust. The menu system is upgraded and so is the LCD. All good things.
The ISO range is amazing, and the new Auto ISO feature is the most flexible and functional I’ve ever used (either Canon or Nikon), it even takes into account the focal range of the lens being used in determing shutter speeds in AV mode. Cool.

I’ll post some video and some more thoughts soon. 
Sweet man, I can’t wait until ours gets here!
I am so jealous! Love your photos and I am sure they will be even better with this little baby.
sweet rig. hopefully i can get these invoices paid so I can purchase a 5dmkII and retire my 1dIII… next I’ll be saving up for a 200mm f1.8
Hey Gerald, Pam and Kim, Thanks for commenting.
Kim you might want to spend a day or three with a 200 1.8 before you decide to own one, it’s heavy, canon should include a wrist brace with it!
I wish I could say I’d spent some more time with the camera in the last couple days, but this kitchen remodel is all consuming. Have to find some time to get used to it before next Saturday’s wedding!
