I love the camera, but at the same time, it has no versatility!

I mean, I'm NOT impressed with the still image quality at all. It's better than what I get on my iPhone but... Here's an example. I didn't even know how to use a 5DII, and I took a photo of my friend with one. That took about 30 seconds. I'd need to mess around and tweak my GH2 for ten minutes at least to get a photo of the same quality that the 5D produced in seconds.

The next problem is that the GH2 is not weather sealed, and not being able to shoot in some rain really sucks. I'm always worried that my camera is going to break at any moment.

The awesome things about the GH2, however, are that it's insanely affordable, has practically no aliasing and moire, and retains incredible detail in video.

I just can't make up my mind!!! GAHH. I would get a 5D III because it doesn't really have any aliasing/moire problems and better low light, but I think it would be better to save $1700 and get another nice L lens. I just don't know what to do...
