A few questions:
Does anyone know if the new batteries that are for the 5D Mark II are backwards compatible with the 5D, and if the old D5 batteries will function in the 5D Mark II?
Will the vertical grip from the D5 work on the Mark II?

I guess I will not be upgrading my 5D anytime soon. What a ripoff. Please speak slowly and distinctly. I have a wife and a computer, I don't need any more confusion in my life.

Thanks Peace Mark Apparently the 5D screens will fit in the MKII, but Canon says they could screw up the metering--technically they are not compatible. connecticut wedding photographer
