Hi gang,

I've been extremely busy the last couple of days, trying a pre-production 5DM2 (loaned by Canon Philippines)...... here's my gallery of video clips and stills from this exciting new camera.

Thanks to Canon Philippines for allowing me to use the camera, to Mr. John Chua for negotiating the loan of the camera, and to Ms. Mela B. for the gracious accommodation.

Clarity of that video grab is astounding! Can we work out that they loan us one for testing for about a year, paired with a 600mmL?
