much better camera than the 5d mark ii?. I think you are taking that
conclusion based on the price only, because the a99 has a much better dynamic range, higher true resolution, a better color depth, a larger viewfinder (who cares if it's digital, it is very sharp though), a much better hybrid autofocus system, has more storage slots, shoots faster,
has GPS, etc... the 5d is better than the a99 only in low light
performance, but for 0.2 f-stops?? c'mon!!! and who cares if canon
already has much more lenses available, you are not gonna buy more than 5
lenses anyway. I believe there's something wrong with this review, I
used to trust a lot in this page, but until now I don't rely on you any
longer. there must be somthing wrong with this page and DxO.
