We analyse the sensitivity of cosmic shear 2-point statistics to the cosmological parameters, by using Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) methods. In particular, we investigate degeneracies among parameters and compare them to the CMB ones. Specializing on a Canada France Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS) type lensing survey and WMAP-1 year and CBI CMB data, we find cosmic shear information improves CMB cosmological parameters constraints by a factor of 1.5 – 2.5.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
