You could always switch to Nikon. 
for what i am looking for, the 2.5 yearold 5D still beats the brand new D300, at the same price point.You could always switch to Nikon.
let's see some of yr wife's shots. i'm curious.
She's not been taking many photos now that she's the sole breadwinner.
I've been taking most of the photos and I'm no photographer...
i didn't specify *recent* photos. 
5D is still an awesome camera is it not? Or were you hoping that a MKII would make MKI prices drop?
I think he just wants to hear himself bitch. 
24,186 posts and no bitch posts.
moff, the 5D is still a great camera, but i was hoping for a few advancements (faster fps, more cross-type AF points, digic III/14 bit RAW, more info in the viewfinder, etc).

Well on the bright side for me , hopefully that will knock the 400d's price point down
Which pushes it into 1D territory, doesn't it?
not necessarily...the 40D has all those features.
If you don't like your 5D, you can send it my way. I'd send you a 30D in return. It has faster FPS
I have a 20D that I'm also willing to um...Barter...with.
hopefully i'll get in touch w/ the guy on POTN who's selling his 5D/grip for a good price.
Don't discourage the obsessive-compulsives, now... our economy depends on them...
says the guy w/ the carbon fiber hood on his car? and an iPhone?
having a full-frame camera would be really nice...i shoot in some small places and getting more than one band member in the frame is just not possible at times.
Man, I'd love a 5D!
Right now I'm in the market for a Tokina 10-17

that looks like a pretty sweet fisheye. every once in a while a used one pops up on POTN.
my current car is bone stock except for an extra set of (oem) wheels + tires, the radar detector wiring, and aux in for my iPhone.says the guy w/ the carbon fiber hood on his car? and an iPhone?

and the iPhone gets an exception because it brings a sense of childlike wonder to all who behold it...
more seriously, i have totally checked out from even following camera news. my current gear works for me, and that's all i need.
well i just pulled the trigger on a used 5D.
SO jealous!well i just pulled the trigger on a used 5D.
I just pulled the trigger on a Tokina 10-17
fishes are fun; all accounts i've heard of that lens is that it's a good one.
hopefully i will get confirmation of my purchase from the seller tonight and get an ETA.

ebay?
Congrats. Of all the Canon bodies I've picked up, that thing is the most portable of the big tanks in the lineup.
well it was kinda weird...the guy posted a for sale on POTN, and i got a PM from him saying he also had it on ebay, but didn't give me a link.
i found what i thought was his (based on the price, and description) and pulled the 'buy it now' trigger. $1600 + twenty for shipping sounds like a very solid deal. ~6K clicks on it.
the 5D is about the same size as the 30D. i do plan on getting a battery grip.
i figure that if the new one comes out later this year, i can sell this one and still get most of my value back (or, depending on features, sell the 30D).

That ain't nothing. The shutter's just been broken in.

Really? I remember the 5D being much more substantial. (been awhile since I picked one up)
how the HELL does one take 800K images?
say he got the camera the day it was announced (late aug 05)...he'd have to average roughly 900 shots per day.
i would bet a large amount of $ that he's had improper contact w/ a canine.
I think he posted on ....dpreview maybe? That he smoked a shutter in record time.
There was a thread about it here somewhere....
Been several threads about him and every time he posts on DPReview the thread hits the front page as being one of the most popular, just consisting of six hundred people saying, "OMG! You're an idiot!" and six hundred other people saying, "Shut up! He can shoot however he wants!"
I guess there's wisdom on both sides, he can use his equipment however he feels he wants to use it... but sheesh, just buy a super high resolution video camera like a Red One and video them, then pick the stills.

How much for the Tokina 12-24, narlus? Or your 17-55 2.8
don't forget the sigma 30 f/1.4 either...i'm still trying to figure out what lenses i'll need, but at least one if not three of those will be on the block.How much for the Tokina 12-24, narlus? Or your 17-55 2.8
i will likely buy the 24-70L, but i'm not 100% convinced that 24mm on a crop will be wide enough...if i'm shooting a big hall w/ the 3 song rule in effect, i'll likely have the 70-200 on the 5D, and i'll need a wider alternative for the 30D.
hey blue -
does $425 shipped and insured for the Tokina sound ok to you?
