Very cute daughter (I assume). Yeah, despite its shortcomings, (mostly autofocusing in the off center points) I love the 5d2, and it remains my favorite camera. I would say the best landscape non MF camera is the Nikon d3X b/c of its slightly higher resolution and better dynamic range. I am managing with the much less expensive 5d2. I also am very much vested in canon lenses, and also prefer their line up, not to mention, they offer better prices on their lenses (at least the L lenses). I only got the 7D b/c I became interested in a little birding. still use the 5dII for all other things.

No problems with being off subject... that's what we are here for - discussions. Like yourself I've been shooting for a while (1991), and have only supported Canon Cameras, so like yourself, there has been a lot of equipment over the years bought, sold or ended up broken. I'm sorry to hear the Nikon was recommended over the T3i because it's a fine camera. Yeah, Nikon can hold thier own, but to me Canon has alway had the edge when it comes to accurate color. For some reason the Nikon's color range always seems a little 'flat' to me compared to Canon. Had I started out with Nikon I'm sure it wouldn't be debatable for me, but I guess I'm justifying using Canon with this one example lol.
I see you have the 5D2, and you seem to have the right tool for the job as you are getting the true 35mm experience out of the sensor. I've never liked the 5D2 because of the way Canon held back on its feature set, but as far as landscape photography goes, there aren't very many better cameras that are better suited, unless you spend 20 thousand dollars for medium format body.
Anyhow, this is the first photo out of the S100. I did bump up the contrast some before posting. The exposure and white balance seem to be good from a automatic setting standpoint.
