If anybody here has one, please let me know what you think of it.

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.

Ive got the 20D and its great! Havent tried the 5D yet...

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. :thumbsup

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.

i seen a comparison between it and the 20d or rebel xt.....it kicked ass on most of it...but the 20d was still beating it in some important features.....but im sure you will do fine with both ;)

fucking players these days.... :thumbsup

Such as?

I shoot damn near everything in manual mode and don't need a built in flash.

let me find the doodly whopper comparison i found

im not saying its not the shit....i mean it far exceeds the 20d.....another 4 MP can be the difference in hair folicle booby shots....///

lemme see if i can find it....was just a couple things the 20d overcame////

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. :thumbsup

Check this :) the mega pixel myth

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....

oops

here you go

or spend a little more and get the Canon EOS-1D Mark II N

i was reading this when i seen you post it here....very interesting....Makes me think about what i want to buy....

Why not just go the whole hog and get a 1DsII :winkwink:

Anyone here use the Nikon D70S? Was thinking of getting one, but would like to hear what others experiences with it are.

5D is awesome - best SLR going for the price

Nikon? booo... this is a canon thread haha :winkwink:

I have the 20D as well. And will stick with it. It is actually more than I need

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

What are your thoughts on the upcoming Nikon D200?

Doesn't look classy at all.

bump for those comments...

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.

you dont like a close up of a nice perky titty with nice tone and great curve with a faded face in the BG?

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

And the price tag for the 5D?

It also distorts faces into something really ugly :2 cents:

MSRP is $3,300.00

I have been peeking at this too! It may very well be my B-Day gift to my self as well!

not bad...not bad...

Interesting read on the Megapixel Myth.

I am gonna hold on to my 350D for a few more months:)

Odd's are a Full Frame will come to a more economical Cam in the Canon line.

Out of my budget for what I do. Thanks for the info Aaron! Always need to dream about the new toys a few more conversions will buy.

I think this is what to look at in New Camaras:

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.

very true, don't use it on the face :)
