Some quick thoughts on the 5D2
This set is taken in the vicinity of University of Toronto’s downtown campus. I recently upgraded from a Canon XSi, and this is the forth/fifth shoot that I am doing with the 5D Mark II.  So far, I’m finding that the AF system to be very accurate (although the placement of the focal points and the lack of cross-types to be inferior and disappointing).  The greatest difference is in the image quality. The 5d2 produces a much cleaner and “creamier” image. The expanded tonal range, as well as the smoother gradations, are amazing, and I could see this camera excelling at capturing the intricate details of, say, a wedding gown. The colours, as many have noted, are actually somewhat subdued/more cautious than the Rebels. Saturation is less exaggerated right out of the camera. For raw shooters, this camera handles really well. I do find myself having to re-learn the aperture-priority mode due to the more sensitive metering. In the past, I could care less about using exposure-compensation on the XSi. With the 5D2, it becomes a necessity now that you CAN accurately control for so many things. Also, because of the full-frameness, I’m still learning to see differently. I can’t wait to try it on with the 70-200 f/2.8L IS.

Here are some of the better works from yesterday.
