Sound monitoring, seperate video and Liveview settings, upgraded autofocus, better protection against dust/elements, HIGHER FRAME RATE! (just want to say, "thank you Canon, about time too!") dual cards, better upright grip and expanded high iso range. Hope the codec is an improvement too. <br /><br />Faster frame rate is going to make it an even better proposition for independent documentary photojournalism, whilst not compromising any of the other popular uses that the 5D has long served. <br /><br />The small, light body, is for my money, the best blend of form and function out there. Small battery charger, good battery life. If the autofocus is a step forward (and we should assume it will be significant) and the shutter lag is a bit better (not mentioned in the spec but I dare to dream!) then most of the request list that serious photographers have lobbied for, will have been met.<br /><br />Already the camera club naysayers are talking it down and saying that they would expect more..... More WHAT exactly?<br /><br />Personally, once the fist rush has passed and I can get more than one body from the same batch, I'm looking forward to buying two of them!Justin Sutcliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218300881730900578noreply@blogger.com
