Mark II looks pretty bad imo.
I would HATE it.
There's like 1 button on the back, with room for at least 5.
Where the ISO button, WB button and exposure buttons??
I can't use a camera without those handy.


The Nikon looks nice, however I'm not a Nikon person sad.gif


thats not what 5d mkII really looks like at the back

actually dedicated buttons on top work very well, just try a XXD body and you wont go back.

The markII is not back, it's just so slow... I really miss the speed and the features of the 1 series.

The nikon d3x is not really worth IMO...

well a lot of people have bought a xsi//xti after owning a 40D because of the size.

im sure it would be better to use but i agree with Spencer here it looks really plain on the back, as if they could have put a bigger screen there. But that grip makes the camera look tough and nice to hold.

Out of all the canon cameras i think the 40 or 50D looks best.

are you sure it's 40D not Nikon D40 they sold? lol I mean sure 40D/50D are whole a lot larger than XTI/XSI but often the larger size is actually an advantage course it gives you a better grip and is more ergonomic. I have had a 40D for 3 months and now I bought another as a replacement biggrin.gif don't get me wrong XTI/XSI are terrific cameras but if you have enough money you should go for the 40D or better

yeah i know what ur saying but i wouldnt like to get above a 50D - i think someware the styling on the 1 series went terribly wrong with that bit on the bottom which makes it look square. The 1 series is of course way better than the 4xx but it looks silly imo and im sure is pretty heavy.

If i were to get another camera when im more experianced and when this 450 is past its days i think id get an xxD because they look cool and they are tough.

hmm i wouldnt go so far as to call the xxxD toys a lot of professionals use them as their back up cameras because they are so small and compact but deliver usable images
