One of my work mates just received the new Canon 5D Mark II with a nice Canon EF 28-70 2.8 L lens. A little boxier than my poor old 40D and with that lens it is much heavier, but both camera and lens make a nice pair and take beautiful looking test photos. Focus was fast and accurate and exposure seemed good as well.
I think I would get a battery grip, my little finger seemed to slip off the bottom, which is odd because the 5D Mark II is franctionally larger than the 40D which fits my hand fine. It must be something different in the hand grip shape. With a camera and lens that expensive I’d want them welded to my hand.
All minor first impression complaints aside, I’m jealous. It’s a lovely piece of kit that will no doubt produce high quality images. Still, no new camera or lenses for me for a while, I need a decent computer for photo processing first. Maybe a 5D Mark III in years to come is the best I can hope for.
