Have you tried rebooting? Pull the button battery out of the back..

i inherited ADD from my kids. Or they at least exacerbated the condition.

Seven year old twin boys.

I've tried 'rebooting' on him a few times. It doesn't work, and just P!$$#$ off his mom to no end. Fortunately, the kid loves coffee. A half-cup of any Keuring Extra bold settles him right down. His mom didn't like that, either, until I showed her how well it works. Better than Ritalin, and costs next to nothing. Even better, the kid doesn't know he's being drugged.

Anyway, he's to hoping Canon unleashes a non-crippled 6D in the near future.

Oh, man! And your not a blitherin... wait, maybe you are. Sorry.

The funny thing- Nikon announced two professional grade cameras- the D5 and D500. Top of the line replacements in full frame and crop sensors. I guess no one told them it was the Consumer electronics show- or Nikon realizes what Canon doesn't- that a whole bunch of consumers with money will purchase high end photography equipment- even if they aren't professionals.

I don't think Canon has used CES to announce cameras. They usually hit shows like Photokina so we'll have to wait until September.

They used. Pretty sure 20D for example was announced at CES way back when. It seemed they went back and forth from CES to Photokina in the past. I didn't realize they'd dropped the "twice a year" model.

There's that D5 with its astounding 153 AF points!!! Whoa.. I will be curious to see how that benefits us.

153?!? Must be for G.I.F. (gnats in flight)

I'd be happy if the 6DII has 19 all-cross points, and a setup like the 7Dc. Well, and DPAF, too.

that D500 looks like it may kill the 7DII
same 153 point focus system as D5, 10fps with 200 shot buffer in raw, 4k video

I never understand the need for so many focus points

Depends on how you define things, I suppose. DPAF uses about 80% of the sensor. On my 70D, that is about 16 million focus points.

Shoot rapidly moving objects. It really helps in tracking and keeping things in focus.

I do...with the 19 pts I have...the 1dx has 61 pts...you think there's that much of an advantage to have 153?

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with 70D AF, too. Sometimes I wish it had the 'spot' focus of the 7Dc, though.
