Bye bye 5D…
Well, I’ve sold my 5D. For the next few weeks I’ll be without a camera, but then I will have the 5D Mark II. This was one of my favorite pieces of electronic equipment I have owned and I have taken many great memories with it. With hope I will have even better memories of the next camera.
Ironically, the day I sold my camera Nelya received a big listing, so I wound up temporarily trading my macro gear for someone else’s 5D that I can use for the property.
This obviously means no new pictures for a bit, though I have some older shots I have been meaning to discuss and a pile of book reviews on my plate.
Interestingly, a number of my colleagues are jumping ship to the Nikon D3/D700 due to the better AF and high ISO handling. Granted, these cameras have better AF right now, but I think it is a mistake to switch for a single camera. Canon has regained most of the ground with the 5D Mark II and I suspect this is a competition where Nikon and Canon will trade places for some time.

When my 20D bites the dust I’ll feel pretty sad, it’s my first dslr. Hopefully then i can upgrade to the 5d, it sounds like a great camera.
