Built in wireless flash master, you say?

If it wasn't a crop body, that'd be pretty tempting, but I have concerns about the MP count on a sensor that size.

24p video might make Chris White happy, though!

Built in wireless flash controller was their big plus, but the APS-C sensor really kills the value for non-journalists.

but who cares, 24p is coming to the 5DmII

I'm still new to it all and extremely happy with my Rebel XSi

Mind tossing me a source for that? This is relevant to my interests.

I'm not sure where the original announcement is but here is one mentioning the free firmware update coming in the first half of 2010

Excellent, thank you. Looking forward to that.
