I'm a Canon guy and have owned alot of their stuff. I currently own two Canon 1ds. Everyone has their own needs from a camera. The most important thing for me is the focusing system. Doesn't matter how fucking amazing a picture is if ti's not in focus. The canon system has an amazing focusing system in their professional cameras. In their consumer cameras they are shit. I traded in a 30d I had because of this reason. They are whore-able focusing in low light situations & if the model is being backlight. If your in a bright studio, kinos blazing then it might work for you. I might suggest the 5d or even an older professional model. The 1ds mark II color management system with the cmos sensor was a little off for me and the pictures looked really surreal. I do not mind processing my pictures for slight changes but redoing the whole profile become way to taxing for the workflow that I have.
I'm going to buy an entry level d-slr for gorilla stuff, something I can be a little rougher with and not worry about my expensive outfit. I checked out the new Pentax (think its called the k200?) the camer feels great, great color reproduction & feels really solid (also sounds good) great program exposure on auto too. Pentax's lenses are fucking amazing as well. That camera has my vote for new d-slr. I think the kit is like $1000- I'm just not sure if it has the live view, that would suck if it doesn't.
And guys this shit is off the top of my head. Don't fucking all geek out on me and rip me apart or I will get all tech on you and you wont know what the fuck I am saying. Well maybe Red Ezra & Just Dave will.
