Hmm, I've been reading that the 5D MK II is having serious problems. The most serious is to do with black spots appearing alongside highlights. There's been several mentions that it's most likely a hardware problem that can't be fixed with firmware. If true, then I guess it can only be fixed with a camera recall by Canon.

The video is amazing.......and if there are problems then i`ll wait until they are solved...but a "must have" at some stage me thinks.

There's loads on the net about the problems - here's a statement by Canon:

Re the video - WOW! It looks fantastic - clear, crisp and for some reason far better than other video? I had snorted with disgust at video on stills cameras - I will now publicly eat my words!

I'm impressed. One day I'd love to have the means to capture animal behaviour using video. Need to do a considerable amount of saving first though!

Crikey that is great quality. Ive been having great fun recording squirrels on my bridge camera and have even been considering the video route over still photography. Now if I hang around long enough I might be able to get an slr + decent video in one package!

the quality is impressive and better than I expected. I've also been sceptical about video on DSLRs but I can now see that I could be persuaded

Thanks for that canon link Jim......I`ll be watching with interest for further statements...and Christina will be keeping her money in her purse for the time being. She was going to treat herself and upgrade.
