    And all I can say is holy crap
    15MP
    Comos 4

    If I dont buy a new 5D or its successor  as a FF/second body Id been thinking about buying a 40D as a backup. Loved the body and theres something to be said for 1.6 sensors for wildlife.

    Now with 15mp cropping in post is a serious option and still retaining a file thats large enough for covers.

    This is gonna kill me.
    50D….the still unannounced 5D successor which we can safely say will have the same Comos 4 with noise control that must be killer given Canons able to up the MP from 10mp to 15mp on the 40/50D.

    Good times.
    Not so good on the wallet, or which to consider dilema. I foresee weeks (or months) of mental anguish coming.

    John I’d wait..In fact I will, months even.

    1) I want to see what the new 5D especially the new Digic 4
    2) give it time to let the people who have to have the newest offerings be the guinea pigs.

    DP has put up another “preview” with side by side comparisons to the 40D. There are some nice changes over and above the MP and new

    Yeah, I’m not pulling the trigger any time soon.

    I said i wasn’t going to upgrade the 30D until i could double the MP, and now this is going to be close to making me look.

    I bet that would be a killer camera for macro work – with the 100mm 2.8 macro lens it would be awesome for shooting insects in the field.

    A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.
