Best buy had one on display. While limited to what you can do it was nice. Very fast, but I can't get used to the dial after using Nikon.

Felt like a good build though. I liked it, but like I said, the dial thing gets me.

Pictures weren't great cause I didn't know how to change the settings and there was no CF card in there.

It's a great camera from what I saw.

Thanks for the review Mr. Nikon ;)

IMHO, 5D (although old) would be the perfect camera if it had 5fps! But with the upgrade in development, I think we'll see 5fps, 14mp and possibly Live Preview and of course more AF points :thumbsup:

I honestly don't really like or miss the live preview.

I honestly don't really like or miss the live preview.Yeah, I don't think i'd ever really use it, but just to have the option... :thumbsup:

(But i'd rather pay LESS for a camera without it!)

Yeah exactly. If it was a no cost feature then sure, but we all know it wouldn't be.

In other Best Buy news, they had the 60mm micro f/2.8 on display for $549 :rotfl:

I was a Best Buy once and they were using a 24-105 L on their display. Why use a $1000 for display? It had some nice scratches on it. I wanted to cry.

Never.
Too much $$ in Nikon, like Nikon too much.

I can't get used to the dial thing.

At my best buy the 5D has no lens cover, I see people look in the mirror and flick it all the time.
