Just got the 5D Mark ll. I'm a photographer and this sucker has too many bells and whistles for me. Would like to try before sending it back but having a lot of trouble with which buttons to push when. I suddenly feel technically brain dead. I want the MP's and maybe the Sony a 900 would have been a good choice? I’ve been using the Nikon D 50 & D60 and sell lots of photos + weddings. Just got the 5D Mark ll.

You're right. The Nikon D300s, with it's best in the industry AF system, pro level build quality, and superior features, is a professional level camera, while the Canon 5D MkII, with it's 50D type non-pro body and lower end AF system, is a pro-sumer level camera. I still think it's an interesting comparison, especially if readers wanted to see it. Kudos Mitch! “Why compare a “pro-sumer” camera to what is considered a professional camera?”

I originally bought the 1ds Mark III but the only advantage for me was the ruggedness. Besides, as a pro, video is now officially in my job description. The 5DII was an absolute no-brainer.

You think the video is nice to have, but not a must. That's YOU, and that's dandy. However, let's say your publisher has decided to take the paper online and now wants all feature stories to have a video-audio component. Still comfy with the possibility of excessive rolling shutter effects and NO manual controls? OK. You think the video is nice to have, but not a must. That's YOU, and that's dandy.

Hopefully, Canon will put down prices. In that case, FF will be the choice.

My understanding is that MPEG is less storage space but at the expense of picture quality. Could be that 720P could be equal to 1080P at least for frame grabs which is what most news agencies also want to do. A real JPEG frame for each of the 24 instead instead of key frames and then making up the in between stuff. MPEG has shown not to stand up in court while the MJPEGs do. - Greg Barra" I know that Motion-Jpeg is easy to edit. H.264 need convertion before edition. But what abou image and sound quality. Image first please, because sound, proper sound should be record with a external device like a mic or a digital recorder. Well my friends; Is Motion-Jpeg an odd choice or a good choice, (also because Nikon insist on it after a year now with use on 3 cameras)? Thanks Can somebody help to understand this:

The image quality in terms of sharpness and natural color, in this field Nikon is ahead of Canon (and I have Canon DSLR Guys). If I had to choose between the two, I would prefer an Excellent still camera. The Video is nice to have, but not a must. I love watching picture and if I wanted some movies to share with friends or on YouTube, I would be very pleased with the 720p resolution.

Bored at home and don't have anything better to do???!!! Thank you for posting it!!! It's a very easy way to compare Nikon's effort to find a place in this growing market. It's sad that there seems to be no competitors for the 5D. This allows Canon to be lazy and not make a bigger effort to either find a way of making the 5D shoot at 24p or come out with a (rumored) 5Ds that does... sooner rather then later, after everyone has already bought one... For those with a bigger budget, how will the Scarlet fits in to all of this, still remains to be seen... I don’t get why people complain about this comparison?!
