I am absolutely drooling over those smugmug photos. Where did you take those photos of the river? Outstanding!
Why thank you
The rivier is the Potomac a few miles north west of DC in the DC metro area called Great Falls National Park

Interesting looking river. The lighting is a bit flat and the compositions are a bit tight, but good effort. Just thought I'd balance out the 'drool'

It wasn't a great day to be outdoors I'll have to be honest... I agree that they are a little tight... Still getting used to this full frame thing Thanks
So Jealous! I just want to buy a used 40D and a good lens. Looks like Ill have to stick with my G9 for a few more months.
A friend of mine got his last Thursday. Obviously, I stopped by to take a look. It is amazing. The video is great, photo's are great. Overall, a good camera, which comes with it's price tag. One thing he showed me that I thought was cool, and being a novice, don't know if it's common or not, was the camera has an 'option' to zoom in real tight on something, so you can focus perfectly and then you just back out and then your subject is in perfect focus, no guessing. The lens is not doing the zooming, but the camera does. Maybe I didn't explain it well, but I thought it was neat.
do you mind me asking where you got yours at. im still waiting for mine
im so excited!!
Ohhh noo, you can purchase it with a 24-105L but that costs 800 more over body. That's a 14mm 2.8L II on mine cost's almost as much as the camera itself..
My Rebel XT has been feeling a bit long in the tooth for a while now... I don't have nearly the money to buy a 5d Mark II but I've noticed a sudden surge in the number of used camera listings on eBay and craigslist for 5d Mark I's and 40D's, mostly because their Mark II's are arriving. Hopefully that will drive the price down on Mark I's and 40Ds so I can get a good price on a used one of those.
I don't think so (but I have not had a ton of time to play with mine). It does adjust ISO dynamically, but I believe that it does not autofocus.
Interestingly enough, you can take photos while capturing video...
Wow, thats a cool feature. Lets hope its not a bug and a feature cause I always believe that some events are better in video but there are some scenes where photos will give a unique effect.
I wonder why Canon did not build a built-in-flash for the 5D while Nikon compact full frame has a built-in-flash.
its def. a feature. Fully documented in the manual.
As a professional camera, I don't see the use or need for a small, on the camera flash. I am glad they left if off.
It was not included on the first 5D either, or on the 1D series. When you get that level of professionalism, you use your own flash/lighting.
Built in flashes are entirely inadequate for just about all photography above personal snapshots.
