    this is the camera body that will finally get me to leave nikon.

    IMO, it is the current best value for a FF body.

    TREMENDOUS quality at high ISO which opens up new possibilities for avail light gonzo.

        I bought every magazine on the shelf that had reviews of this thing. I can't wait to play around with one.

          So do I, and I love it. But going full frame will be a kick ass step.

            yeah, you need FF to accentuate the advantages of wide angle lens.

            this allows artistic liscense with framing, and give images that the surfer will notice.

            by getting in close with wide angle you can make average size breasts big, normal size dicks huge, pretty butts into big asses---you can manipulate physique which helps when making images for specific niches.

                    It's just not as fast as the 20d is. Most of the stuff the 5d doesnt have and the 20 does a pro would never use.

                        that was one of the pros to the 20d....I cant find the exact comparison I seen days ago. But I highly recommend you get the 5d and tell us YOUR opinion compare work.....

                        heres a comparison i found shooting some M&Ms ....you can see the distance detail....

                                          Excellent camera but not in the same ball park as the 5D.

                                              Doesn't look classy at all.

                                                  Do we really need to be able to zoom into the pimples on the models ass?
                                                  I bet this high megapixel camera's make the photoshop touch up guys job a living hell.

                                                    I can already do that with my 20D. To me, this is ALL about the full frame CMOS sensor, the ability to use or not use an extended battery grip, and LI vs. NiMH batteries. I really don't care if it shoots as fast as the 20D because I never max that out in the first place.

                                                        I like it except on it's shape; it's quite bulky..

                                                            this allows artistic liscense with framing, and give images that the surfer will notice.

                                                            by getting in close with wide angle you can make average size breasts big, normal size dicks huge, pretty butts into big asses---you can manipulate physique which helps when making images for specific niches.

                                                            It also distorts faces into something really ugly

                                                                        Canon's DIGIC II Image Processor, a high-precision 9-point AF system with 6 assist points. Same thing in the 20D as well.

                                                                        When thats improved its time to buy, but in the mean while that same Image Processor is in the 350D.
