Nice man! Nice!

What do you shoot mainly?

Black dot is a problem with some 5DMKII with highlights that have black dots near them.

Thanks Guys.

I pre-ordered it from J&R when it was announced and received it tonight.

I mainly shoot portraits and landscape. I've got 2 young kids so I'm always taking pictures of them.

I've had the 20D since it came out and have been waiting for a full frame like this for a long time. I enjoyed my 20D but it's starting to show its age. Plus, I really miss having a spot meter in the camera. The one thing I will miss about the 20D will be the flash. I wish the 5D2 came with a built in flash for those times you need a fill or an emergency one.

Nice camera!

Maybe in a few years I can upgrade to full frame too

But then again I usually go through cameras pretty quickly so it could happen sooner lol
