Definitely! As an aside, here's what the 40D can do for portraits (tethered and shot with strobes and hot lights). I'm sure the 5DMkII will be better

Wow, nice stuff Alex! I agree, the new 5D looks amazing.
My 5D does a nice job with portraits/people too - these first two were ISO 800 with natural light.
"It is I" as G. Gordon would say... (self portrait)
ISO 400, Speedlight on-camera

I usually buy from B&H and they're estimating November, so hopefully, I'll be in the first run of people scrabling to pick these up.

Were any of those with an 85 f/1.2?
Thanks!
No. They were all with the 24-105 f4 L.
The first two were wide open at f4. I'm pretty sure that the last one was at f8.

Drop me a note on the performance of the camera when you get and use it. I would really like to know. Being a gadget geek, I always have to have whatever is new!
