Hi Niall - If you do get the 5Dmkii, do you still plan on shooting with the hv-30 and Z1? I've tried shooting a wedding with 3 different cameras once and the results were less than ideal and added...

Just dropped off the lens at the Canon service center in Irvine, CA. We were quoted just a bit over $300 to fix the lens. This is assuming that the interior elements are ok (which is likely...

Hey Don - Thanks for the comment. Shooting with the 5D can be a bit of a challenge but it's forced me to really plan out the shots and be ready for just about anything.

I'd have to agree that 2 tripods + a slider is a lot of gear on top of the usual stuff. BUT the setup will open up a whole book of shots that can knock your bride's garter off.

I just purchased the 501HDV for my 5D. It pans incredibly smooth but there's a slight 'bump' or 'catch' right before each pan. Other than that, for $185 it was well worth the money. I've come near...
