it' pretty obvious that the distance between the checkbox and the 5d picture is a lot smaller than for the other cameras. i say it's pretty obvious shopjob.]]>Apr 21st 2008 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-leaked-on-german-website/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-leaked-on-german-website/Apr 22nd 2008 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-leaked-on-german-website/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-leaked-on-german-website/Apr 22nd 2008 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-leaked-on-german-website/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-leaked-on-german-website/
As for the real specs, who knows. "The Live View Function" of the 40D has serious limits. Download the user manual for the 40D to get a preview of possible 5D mk 2 updates.

The biggest problem I've had with my four year old 5D is crud on the sensor. I've had to clean the sensor (I'm an astronomer and am familiar with cleaning ultra sensitive CCD/CMOSs that self-destruct if you look at them cross eyed) and after a few months I get new crud on the sensor.

The 40D has the ultrasonic cleaning mode as well as a software based "hide the goober" option. On astronomy cameras the software method is used to reduce errors caused by "dark current" or pixel errors caused by long exposure times.

I don't own a 40D, so someone who does would be a better source of info on these items. Still, I'm so tired of fighting a dusty sensor that I'm willing to buy a new 5D mk 2 for that alone.]]>Jul 16th 2008 11:35PM
