ALas - I picked it up for $2200 with a spare battery and all the books,cd's,etc. - he was asking $2400 but was willing to go lower when asked...so I asked. I'm sure there's better deals out there - but I'm happy.

highcountry Senior Member 345 posts Joined Jan 2009 Location: Parker, CO More info | Mar 31, 2009 21:24 | #1460 A couple of weeks ago, I was at the Monte Vista refuge photographing sandhill cranes and geese. I was standing next to a county road photographing cranes as they flew over with my newly acquired 1Ds2 on my EF500mm when this magpie decided to put on a little aerial show about 100-125 yds out in front of me. I thought that it would be a good time to test the camera's AF ability on a rather small moving target. This is the result. I am impressed.   John

cicopo Goldmember  More info | Mar 31, 2009 22:15 | #1461 I still prefer my 1Ds2 but do admit that the high ISO of the 5D2 is very impressive from my recent tests. Up until now my idea of high ISO was staying under 1000 unless in a pinch. Because I don't shoot high ISO I don't have any software to fix or blend the noise but in my mind I think I could use ISO 6400 sometimes for daily use here & there without any normal person ever detecting that things were less than normal. On the other hand I do not see a noticable difference in IQ between the 2 bodies. My samples are here, and they should be downloadable for proper inspection. A skill is developed through constant practice with a passion to improve, not bought.

Got a chance to "play" with it a little over the weekend to test it. I can tell you that it would have been very difficult, if not near impossible, to get these shots with my 20D.  2.  3.

I know!! I called canon about it, youd think a camera that retailed for 8 grand had something special to it... Im as stomped as you! Living the life, overexposing...
