I don't think Dante really exist. People don't buy so much gear.

Clever Japanese type up his posts. And the Dante you see running the restaurant is a hologram.

Oh Doc, you're just trying to cheer us all up. It would explain the disrespect to Blonde too...the assumption that all westerners are hairy...

haha, thats great

I did both those as soon as I got the 5D too I had no idea how much space raw would take but you can't get me to go back to shooting jpeg unless it's a dire (run out of memory) emergency...and I had a 250gb external but it was filling up so time for a new one...

The part that talks about the 1DM2N and the 20D.

Mark, the pixel density on the 5D is SWEET. OMG. It is like a mini 1dsmk2 with better noise at high ISO. for the other, can you say 8.5FPS!!

Mini? Who needs mini. You keep convincing yourself you did the right thing and you just might believe it. Until, that is, I come strolling into Bubba's with my !DsMKII on one shoulder, and the replacement for the 1dmkIIN on the other shoulder.

Then you'll wish you kept it.

And on top of that, I'll be lugging my very own 300 f2.8, but I'll be able to toss on a zoom, like the 24-70 on my second, new, upgraded body, maybe even the 16-35. You remember those lenses, don't you?

Nono, Mark has a BIG a$$ basket on the front of his walker!! with one of those flip down seats for when you get tired.

HAHA I jest about this, but my most favorite shooting platform was one of those double strollers. Not the double wide one. Well you guys know me and I dont buy cheap stuff. This goes for stollers too. I found out, while one kid was busy at soccer and the little one was chillin or sleeping, I could put the one in the back seat and sit on the front seat and wield a monopod camera etc. Plenty of lens storage under and between the seats. I miss that thing....

As for missing your 1D2, buy it back, have both.

Nope. Can't afford both. Well I could, but I have the money tied up in big, heavy glass at the moment. And I like the glass a lot!

Yes, the 5D is more of the night camera. On occasion, I find the limitations of the larger AF sensors can be a hinderance, but that is quite rare. Only with a small subject, and a busy, contrasty background. The 1D2 is susceptible to this as well, but the subject needs to be even smaller relative to the background. Smaller, more precise AF sensors vs. larger, more sensitive sensors.
