Canon eos 5D MkII The New Screen

The new screen is great and a pleasure to use. The live view is also very good and the movie mode is very easy to use. My favourite new feature is the ability to change shutter speed, aperture, iso ect on the rear screen using the joystick to move around. This is great for tripod work with the camera at eye level. You can use live view mode as well and have a silent shutter which is very good. I think who ever designed the new camera is a 'real photographer' because when you start using the new 5D Mk 11 you wonder how you lived with out it. I will be trying a new way of working in church ceremonies from now on. I will be able to record short clips of HD video and take photographs at the same time with a very quiet camera. I can have the camera at eye level and adjust everything on the rear screen. The exposure is simulated very well on the screen as well. I think this is a massive improvement over the 5D for a wedding photographer.
