    I’m new to the forum. Been out of using my 1D Mk2 for a while. But wanting to get back into photography and looking to get a 5D mk2 or mk3, it is lighter than my 1D mk2. The UI is easier to use and the 5D mk2 and up can do video as well.

    My dad was a broadcast videographer and taught me a bit, but he didn’t do much digital still photography, that was pretty new when he retired. He did tons of video and film stills. Having met 5 presidents and traveled the world for work he has seen a lot and has 3 Emmys and inducted into the Emmy Silver Circle in 2005. He passed in 2021, and is very missed.

    Sadly my local camera store closed after 108 years this spring.

    Thanks!

    Welcome to the forums! So sorry to hear of your fathers passing, I too lost my parents the last few years.
