Hi!
After looking at the Canon EOS 5D at $3,300 U.S, I'm probably going to
switch to that camera. With Canon's resources and it's ability to make it's
own sensors, I think it's clear that they will be the front runner and
leader of DSLR cameras. Now with the advantages full frame (you can argue
that if you wish}in a relatively small body, I think I'm going to switch and
purchase one in the next 6 months. Also there is more software support for
Canon amd Nikon, like DxO Optics 3.0, which does not support Pentax. Also
more lens available.
If Pentax comes out with something close for close the price, I'll
re-consider.
Your thoughts please.
I think that camera body is less important than lenses. Hence, if you
want to upgrade to EOS 5D you have to remember that you'd have to buy
very good if not very best Canon optics... It is however not difficult
to see that the best Canon lenses cost significant money. Thus your
switch to Canon EOS system will not be limited (pun intended) by $3,300.
I'd say make that double this figure.
If you have will, money and reasons to do so - absolutely.
I am perfectly happy with my Pentax system.
