Canon 5D Mark II: new day for still photographers?

Well I guess by now that everyone in the world has heard about the Canon 5D Mark II and it’s remarkable video capabilities. This will probably be the millionth link to Vincent Laforet’s video shot with the 5D Mark II.

I can’t help but imagine that many, many still photographers will be using this camera to do things which they only dreamed of before. If for no other reasons than it got very high image quality, and it looks and acts like a still camera. Sure, the web will soon be flooded with many bad 5D2 videos, but I am sure there will be many great ones too!
