Canon released the first firmware update for the 5D MarkII. (1.0.7)
It addressed the following problems people have encountered with the camera:
1. ?Black dot? phenomenon (the right side of point light sources becomes black)
When shooting night scenes, the right side of point light sources (such as lights from building windows) may become black. The phenomenon may become visible if the images are enlarged to 100% or above on a monitor or if extremely large prints of the images are made.
2. Vertical banding noise
If the recording format is set to sRAW1, vertical banding noise may become visible depending on the camera settings, subject, and background.
-Vertical banding noise is not noticeable if the recording format is set to sRAW2.
-Vertical banding noise does not occur if the recording format is set to RAW or JPEG.
-Noise can be reduced if C.Fn II-3: Highlight tone priority is set to 0: Disable.
The firmware is available here: http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/firm-e/eo...2/firmware.html

LoL,
I'm about to pick up a D200 or a D90 (Nikon) for my dad. I think it'll make a good birthday present.
We've been through a lot of SLR's, and this will be his first DSLR.

I am waiting for a follow-on to the D300 before upgrading my D200. The D700 is just too expensive for my needs.
