LOL! Nate did that for about a day before he pulled the trigger. Nate says that he's having to relearn how to process the photos coming out of the 5D. Its sensor has a weaker anti-aliasing filter, similar to what's on the Nikon sensors, so he's having to learn how to strike the right balance between correct color and sharpness. Skin tones are very nice, and there isn't a lot of noise. Size, build and controls quality are similiar to the 20D, if you're familiar with it, but the 5D is heavier and doesn't have a popup flash. He says the shutter doesn't feel as nice as the 20D's. He also says that his normal-thickness UV filters are causing vignetting, so he's going to have to get some thin ones. I'll let you know more as he learns more about the camera.
