Hey, who said no one wants them. I'm looking to get a 5D classic :P


Don't waste the cash on the Mark I now man... 5d II is becoming very affordable and is a much better camera. Will probably grab 1 or 2 in the next month or so.

Same here at least now that I actually try to get good composition lol.
Though I do really get frustrated sometimes when the AF keeps haunting and unable to focus on an object that has the similar as the background like a green katydid among green grass. Is it normal? I mean it was in broad day light too  -_-


Try and focus on lines of contrast, it helps a lot. What camera do you have and what lens are you using?

Even tho the image size is alot smaller, but the ISO performance still beats my 50D.

I don't know about the 5D MKII as being affordable.. $2200 camera and affordable don't really fit in the same sentence where i live :P

Seriously, don't bother with the MKI ;)

Save some more and get the II, it really is that much better. I'm not really impressed with the I's high ISO performance. Yeah, I can expand it to 3200 to get the shot but it's pretty horrid compared to the II.

From what I've seen, you ain't someone that settles for second best :P

LOLOL. Hey.. even if i do get the 5D MKII, it's still gonna be second best.. if i wanted the best.. i would go for a 1Ds IV ;)

But, i'll seriously consider the 5D MKII if the 60D doesn't live up to the hype. :)

If you wanted the best you wouldn't be wasting cash on 35mm shit ;)

60d will be 1.6x ... your 135 is going to waste on a crop :P

Canon need to break the mold and release a squared MF chip for their cameras.

Don't get it now then. Get it in a few months. The price will keep trickling down, maybe save a few hundo by then :)
