 Canon 40D May 27, 2008

Look no further if your looking for a DSLR in this range... Absolutely fantastic... I did my homework for 6 months and decided on this model... I went from a P&S camera to this... A little learning curve but what do you expect from a camera that delivers so much...
I could rant on but if your looking for a great DSLR, this is it...
I did however purchase the body only and picked another lens to go with it...Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Excellent buy as well and I searched all the safe competitive sites... Amazon has the best price for this item...
Still the best FF on the market! May 25, 2008

It is HARD to take a bad picture with this camera! Until Canon replaces it with something else (the 7D?) it remains king. Yes, it is not weather sealed like its 'big brother', but you won't get tendon damage either using this baby. I have read of wedding photographers making this their main body and switching the 1D to the backup realm simply due to the fact of wieght and bulkiness: you can change settings one handed on this model, harder to do on the 1D series I hear, especially with heavier lens.
Really, it is hard to go wrong here. You know you WANT a full frame sensor, you know you DO NOT HAVE eight grand to spend on one, you know you want a CANON (the technology leader, just ahead of our Nikon friends) and unless you want to WAIT and hope that a similar footprint comes out soon, this is the camera for you! Beginner, semi-pro or pro; why not learn or switch to a full frame, non-crop factor camera? That way your focal lenghts will be true and you won't have to resort to funny math when you shoot at 'such-and-such' of focal length.
The only con that I have seen on mine is it has HOT PIXELS on the sensor. I noticed this recently for the very first time when I did a several minute, infrared night shot out doors. Nothing that a little Photoshop won't fix, but it was a little disheartning. Mostly I do weddings, portrait work and fun daytime stuff so it won't affect me much.
It you get this, be sure and get the latest Firmware Update as well so you can use 16 GB or larger CF cards.
So what you waiting for? Click BUY! :-)

Amazing camera May 25, 2008
Amazing, professional camera. Beautiful files straight out of the camera. It's lightweight but it's no light weight. The 5D is a full-frame camera that means your wide angle lens will produce the image you would expect.
The price drop made it possible for me to invest in a second body.
You will love it!
Still amongst the best after 4? years in production May 22, 2008

Unbelievable how evolutionary Canon is with their products. They bring out the 5D I believe 4 years ago at a price way lower than the 1DSII variation and even better than the used price of the 1DS and it sells like bonkers. Today is no different with an equally interested market going after the camera. It has plenty of resolution, extremely delicious sensor, and everything anyone would ever need in a DSLR IMHO. Sure, the next version of this will have more gimmicks and be faster, but this will be a legend in the Canon chain of cameras.
Love this Camera! May 18, 2008
This is a great camera. I recently upgraded from a 20D that I also loved... but after one day shooting with the 5D and then looking at the results, the 20D will only be used in case of an emergency, or for B roll types of stuff. I'm a long time pro photog from back in the days of film, and I don't miss those days at all. Today's young photographers don't realize how great they have it with equipment available like this.
