Re: New Canon 5D MarkII upgrade?
Although I do really like the 5D, I don't think it's worth the premium over the 30D/40D. I could have bought a 30D when it came out and a 40D when it came out, kept them both and still had change.
I still use my 20D for some things (motorsports mainly) and would be more likely to buy a 40D then a 5D MKII if the price difference doesn't drop a lot. Only time I really feel I really need full frame over cropped is when I'm taking portraits in limited space, you get better control over DoF.
The 5D needs good glass as, of course, it uses the edges which the 1.6x doesn't, not too much of a problem for me but if you've got any consumer level lenses it may show the flaws.
cheers
Dan
