All in all the 5d mark II is a great camera for it's price
Well I can understand it, I do still photography, not video, and I really have no desire to pay for a video mode I don't use, nor want a camera brand I might buy from pour R&D time and money into a video mode to keep up with the competiton.
Would you rather your camera had better AF and a brilliant clear image at high ISO, or a video camcorder function?
Nice camera from Canon, but spending an extra 400% is not going to make my images 400% better.
