EOS 5DMKII vs Nikon D700

"looks like Canon's main strong point is the 21 mega pixels vs 12 of D700, however D700 has proven image quality"

Is this a troll? Read the dpreview.com article. There's lots more. About the only think I see Nikon doing better is offering more frames per second for action photography.

If I would have start all over again, I will go to D700, because of the weather seal and AF points.

Well, the Nikon can use DX lenses in a crop mode. The 5D MkII still can't use EF-S lenses in any mode.

But this is what dpreview.com says, D700 has classleading high ISO performance. what are you trying to say?

"better is offering more frames per second for action photography"

Obviousely you have never used a Nikon Camera, I happen to have a Canon 40D AND a Nikon D300 at my possession, Nikon metering is second to none-Canon has advantages too.

Right now, all I want to know is how much will the price of D700 come down. If it comes down enough, then the Nikon offering will be very attractive.

Right Bob, but Canon's answer will probably be that we never actually made a "L" or pro EF-S lens so those lenses will not appeal to target market of this "high end" camera

If you look on canons website it says it accepts EF-s... they have not talked about it much so it COULD be a typo...

See below copy/pase directly from canon US site.

"Compatible with over 60 Canon EF/EF-S lenses and most EOS System accessories."

I think it's a typo they also say it has built-in flash!
