Yup, that's been my experience as well. My 5D2 nails the heck out of the focus even when shooting at f/1.2, it's as accurate as a laser. I reach for my 5D2 for the studio and I reach for it at events like weddings. It is a rock solid performer, one that handily out sells the D700. I doubt the masses that buy the 5D's and love them are too stupid to know better... but I guess I could be wrong.I am glad I got a good 5DII then. I find mine to one of the most accurate focusing bodies I have ever used. Not the fastest, but in terms of accuracy, its the bees knees. I never worry shooting at an aperture of 1.2 even. Mine is nuts on. Would I like a faster autofocus, you bet. But I am plum content with the accuracy. The 1D series is by far faster, but a 1DsIV will not be justifiable to me personally.
I mean, check out all these 5D2 pics... not a decent in focus shot among them.
Nope, it's the exact same Multi-CAM 3500 system. Nikon uses it in the D300, D3700, D3 and D3X.I am assuming the D700 has a different focusing system than the D3s which finally got a firmware update to improve its autofocus; something my cousin has been complaining about since he got his.
Well thats odd because he was happy with his D700. We went out shooting the other day and was ragging on me about the 1DIV......until he tried it. LOL
