Canon EOS 5D - successor this year?
Having opted to wait to buy a digital SLR, I'm now wondering if there will
be a successor to the 5D this calendar year. In the late winter/early spring everyone was speculating on the new models, but nothing has shown up. Thoughts on Canon's timeline? Thanks. |

If true, I expect it to be priced about the same as when the 5D was released: $3200. A non-pro friend has been waiting for full-frame prices to come down for two years as he thought by now he'd get a full-frame for $1500. You see, he did not want to make an investment in EF-S lenses. But finally he's given up and decided to stay in the consumer line and get the EF-S 10-22mm for his 1.6x crop body. Good choice, for him, IMO. |

I can think of few things more pathetic than obsessing about new Canon DSLR's. |

Anyway, you can do almost everything with the smalller sensors that you can do with a 5D. KS |
