Do I want a FF DSLR?
Yes of course! Why not? ;p
Do I want 5D?
Maybe, but certainly not when it's first launched. I'm not willing to suffer too much depreciation.
The other day I just took out my EOS 630 to recall how a FF viewfinder looks like. I must say I've forgotten how bright and large the FF "View" is! You can see a lot more!
Then I still remember when I was using film SLR, it used to be much easier to "catch" the expressions on people's faces, or I could just keep looking through the viewfinder and wait for that "moment" to release the shutter. With the 1.6x, I just wanna quickly compose and fire off, it's not so comfortable to look through the viewfinder for too long.

Still, a dime plus development cost... amigo....
This gringo has got not much dough..... haha!
The only thing I like about FF is the brighter viewfinder and for those few landscape shots.... wide scenaries!!!!
Guess I gotta piece together 2-3 20D shots for that wide panorama view..... 8megapix x 2 or 3 => 16 - 24 megapix, factor in 20% overlaps => 12.8 - 19.2 megapixels... hahaha!!!
Gee maybe get 2 used 300D and custom mount them side by side with a 24/35mm lens with a common trigger! Can get stitch panoramas or 3D stereoscopic shots! Hahaa!
Just curious, how many will actually buy the 5D? Bearing in mind it's a consumer grade 1DS.hazmee said:After doing so much reading and thinking, I would rather go get the EFS 10-22 now and start shooting. Anyone planning to sell their 20D, please let me know.Cheers!
It's a 20D souped up to FF, that's where the price difference of $4K+ goes to the wafer chip. Or at least that's what I see? :dunno:
Of course, I want a full frame. but at some point, how much imporvement in terms of image quality between teh 20D and 5D? is the imporvement justify forking out US$4K for the camera? My initial reaction reading what is available on the camera is probably not. The next generation, probably, and the generation after next most likely. So, I am waiting.

But love to have a 1.6X crop when im at zoo or some other place that needs extra reach
Give us flexible FLM selection on the next FF!!
1x, 1.3x, 1.6x, 2x
it is just software implementation and if D2x can do it....Canon should do better
Wai, the D2X you wanted is ready, so how? Still wait for you to sell your 1D then jump ship or?Wai said:Give us flexible FLM selection on the next FF!!

OOPS. Sorry!!! Supposed to PM u.
:bsmilie:
you buy the 5D, you want 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 crop also can. I do for you. Flexible some more! no need to crop only the middle. anywhere also can.Wai said:Give us flexible FLM selection on the next FF!!

as long as you have photoshop
1.3x is the most comfortable. because the AF ellipse covers more of the frame than compared to 1x
and it also allows for some more reach on telephotos.
for wide angles all you need is 24mm then 24 x 1.3 = 31mm which is as good as 28mm which is then wide enough for me
hence i will upgrade to the 1DmkII in the future
