It's actually cheaper than the US price at today's exchange rate. I finally don't need to import my gear from the US 40D with grip, 580EX(2), ST-E2

If you don't shoot sports, it's largely unneeded. Me thinks there are many in this forum that are going pure specs without ever using / needing what they are asking for.

I finally don't need to import my gear from the US  Canon Canada seems to play games, offering bodies at competitive prices to the States and then boning us on lenses and accessories though they do have a handful of lenses which are close enough to not make it worth the effort of buying on-line from the States. You really have to wait for rebate promotions to get a square deal out of them up here.

I shoot people, I perfer a slower fps rate, as you do, because I don't need 15 throw aways every few seconds. Yes, this camera is for a certain group of photographers. There are different cameras for different people.

Why would they use "AI Servo tracking" as the excuse for keeping the old style AF points? I think that's odd too. For me (landscapes, architecture mostly) the center point is all I generally use so it's fine but if you're marketing this to wedding photogs and people shooting portraits it does seem like a mistake. http://www.colorblindedphoto.com

Did you want someone to link you to individual posts? I'm changing my mind on the movie mode. I wouldn't use it for any serious photography frame captures or videography work but it would be nice to have with the kid here. And the high ISOs looks very appealing... but damn them with their old school AF... if you had just improved the outer points, you'd eliminate half of the **** here. Outer AF points are good for weddings, portraits, etc, all the target markets for this camera. Why would they use "AI Servo tracking" as the excuse for keeping the old style AF points? Let's hope some miracles happen over at Canon and they've improve to outer points somehow. emorphien wrote in post #6330843 I think that's odd too. For me (landscapes, architecture mostly) the center point is all I generally use so it's fine but if you're marketing this to wedding photogs and people shooting portraits it does seem like a mistake. I mainly shoot people I guess, I use the middle one and recompose. I rarely use the other points, because I like to shoot in landscape then switch to portrait (like 50/50 seriously). So selecting the other point just slows me down.

Curious - new to all this sRaw, how does that compair to say a L-Fine JPG? Is the sRAW compressed, or how is it made? A Camera - A Lens -- Gear Doesn't Matter
