Vincent Laforet on the Canon EOS 5D MK II
Sunday, September 21st, 2008
Something very interesting is coming…
For me, the key quote came in the discussion thread:
I shot one still with a 400mm 2.8 of a silhouette of a woman…. a beautiful woman - a model - and you could literally count the hairs on her face in a full head profile… at 3200 ASA -with close to ZERO noise… this camera is STUNNING - I’m not throwing around expletives needlessly here…
This is sounding great to me.

After reading Laforet’s report, it certainly has my attention. It sounds like a tremendous camera for many purposes, especially low-light photography. I can hardly wait to try one out.
Wow, 400mm and zero noise..looks impresive. I waiting to see pictures of that.
Right, this high ISO, low light stuff really has my interest. I can’t wait for in-depth reviews. We shall see…
