Thanks Allen!
However, Canon wrote this paper...
While it is very informative, I must admit the paper cannot be judged
objective.
Mind you, I'm waiting for my MkII with kit lens to be delivered, hopefully
before Xmas...

Absolutely. Canon white papers are afterall brochures with a bit more tech
info than you would expect in a normal sales brochure. Most serious people
will already know all they need to know by now anyway, but still worth a
read though.

Canon pulled the file because it failed to mention the "black dot" feature.

Yes, you are right, it did load the second time I tried it. Having read it,
I'm wondering if the gapless microlenses might be the reason for the black
dots adjacent point and non-point areas of saturation? They seem to be
implying that the actual pixel sensing area on the new cameras is larger,
despite the smaller size of the pixels in the case of the 5D II versus the
5D. It's possible that using the entire or nearly all the microlens surface
area for imaging was a mistake as unforseen aberrations have possibly
cropped up.

As usual you're just grasping at some reason to whine about Canon.

Good thing there IS something to whine about, as usual, with Canon.

There's something to whine about with nearly every camera made. So
what? You're an anti-Canon bigot and so you exaggerate issues with
Canon cameras and minimize problems with other cameras.
