Detailed review
Everything on this body is like you's expect for the class and price, except the autofocus. It has almost the exact same system for AF that the original 5D had, which is to say adequate if you have great habits and are methodical about every shot. BTW, I am talking about shooting weddings with it, which is one of the truly hard jobs cameras do. Casual shooting, non-issue. For example, the 40D from Canon is far quicker.
