Bummer. Mine was pretty sedate.

Of the original 5D, I think I agree. The Mk2 is a bit better in this
regard. I can't seem to get along with the original, but the Mk2 seems
more OK to me. Subtle differences, but I've always believed that it
was close anyway. The ability to slip into live-view and have some
ability to withstand a little moisture is important to me.

I spend most of my life in Aperture Priority mode. I'm a heathen, I guess.

The new computer is cruising along nicely. However, I have encounted
some fatal flaws with lightroom...
