"If it can't focus it's no use"
Pros: Image quality and dynamic range
Cons: Focus my G5 focusses better
Summary: This has been a bitter disappointment for me, having left Nikon 6 years ago Ive been thrilled with the Canon products, particularly the 1D series, it showed how a camera should work, Nikon had nothing like it until the D3.
Coming from a long line of 1D, 1D firmware update, 2x 1D MKII and those firmware updates a to 2x MKIIn I was not going to be so easily impressed but was looking forward to the better low light AF, bringing it on par with Nikon for the first time EVER and the increasing the sensitivity to ’2.8 again matching Nikon and increasing low light sensitive to -1 to where Nikon had been all along, this along with the improved servo AF was finally a machine that truly had everything.
But if it cant focus, its sadly not worth the ink on the box. Canon are recalling the camera from the dealers, but I as someone who paid top dollar will have to send it in, at my own expense, I cant even return it to my dealer, Im so mad
