Is the 5D II really worth over $1000 more then the 5d classic. The only thing thats i can see that would be better on the 5D II is micro adjustment and sensor cleaning.

umphotography grabbing their Johnson  More info | Apr 20, 2011 06:22 | #12 TeamSpeed wrote in post #12258389 It has all been mentioned scattered in this thread but: - better LCD - live view - movie mode - more ISO range, 50-25600 - auto-ISO (limited) - better ISO handling 3200 and above - micro adjustment - 3 raw sizes - more resolution for more crop power - digic 4 over digic 2, faster overall - af improvements to detect flicker and color temps - 150K shutter cycle vs 100K - slightly more fps - hdmi output X100. Definatelty worth it to me. But i still kept the 5d classic. We shoot all full frame now. ALMOST got the 1DMKiV. Came very very close. But after the results with the 5dmkII, we purchased another one over the 1DmkIV. AF speed is not in the same league, thats a given, but on the center point, I think the 5dMKii wins the race for me. I love the camera. Mike
