I had a vision last night during my sleep. Mr. Canon allowed me to see and
touch the new 5D Mk II. It had a full frame sensor, 6 fps continuous shooting,
16.6 mega pixel, sensor clean function, improved weather sealing, ISO 50-3200
100% viewfinder, 3" LCD, new noise reduction circuitry, and that useless print button like the 40D. The camera also had the WiFi capability like the 40D,
Geo stamping and date/time stamping. The new MK II will retail for $2795
body only and be offered in kit form with the 24-105 4L for $3450.

I asked Mr. Canon why he chose to include the stupid print button on the
new model and his response was "Because I can." He then told me the
print button is a customer response device. Each time the button is pressed
a wireless message is transmitted to Canon Int.. This helps Canon gauge
customer frustration and when enough rage and discontent is detected, a
new model or updated version hits the market to quell the masses.

Mr Canon knows what he is doing.

Will this WiFi capability be built in?

Also your dream isn't very exciting, ISO only goes to 3200? *snore*

This one sounds somewhat feasible... ;)

This is a feature that will be corrected with the 5D Mk III.

ISO only goes to 3200? *

Mr. Canon does know what he is doing.

Sounds to me like he has no idea what he's doing.

No mention any way of the camera body design or AF system? Really sounds like Mr Canon is clueless now.

Can you dream again, and tell mr. canon that i dont want more iso 3200, because in that case i will sell all my canon stuff, and buy a new D700 and never see canon again.

5D II is going to see like 20D to 30D only upgrade more picture buffer :evil:
and the mega pixel is not what i need, in that case i go to 1Ds MKII and get a better body from the same price

D700 is going to be the choose.
Im serious

Did Mr Canon mention the AF capabilities? And did he mention that he's a complete twat for selling at that price when the D700 retails for $3k?

D700 is looking very good indeed.

Compared against what? An imaginary camera with no real specs to speak of? :lol:

Are you using a jump to conclusions mat?

Another day, another 5D MkII rumor. These were interesting, like 6 months ago but now....

but now it just hurts because I'd really like one :(
Plus I'd like it to be announced sooner so when I can afford it, it'll be cheaper ;)
