The Canon 5D changed the landscape of digital cameras. It was cheap (compared to the other alternative, the 1DS MkII), small and full frame. It fast became the tool of choice for photojournalists the world over. So the 5D MkII had huge shoes to fill and had a tough act to follow.
Check out my article on how the camera's been received by photojournalists from around the world. The article's called "The changing path of photojournalism" and is live now on CPN.
