Unfortunately, my 300D-gear got stolen from the huis when we were not home, along with many other things.
For 11-Feb-2006 I needed to make photographs for a new happening.
The Canon EOS 20D was due for replacement by the EOS 30D, but not yet announced at the time of this writing.
Therefore I did choose the Canon EOS 5D.
To get used of the new camera, I purchased it two weeks in advance.
I'm very pleased with this camera.

How does the 5D look like?

The Canon EOS 5D:

TIPA (Technical Image Press Association) Awards 2006: Canon's EOS 5D is awarded best professional DSLR.

Best D-SLR Professional: Canon EOS 5D

"The EOS 5D is the first digital camera that offers a full-frame, 24x36mm sensor at a realistic price, and there’s no compromise on image quality. With 12.8 million pixels available, there’s plenty of resolution for huge prints, and they’re big pixels, too, which means lower noise and higher quality in the final image. Picture sharpness is excellent, and the high resolution and superb image processing means artefacts are rendered invisible. Moreover, the size of the sensor means that the actual focal lengths of Canon EF lenses are used, and with no ‘crop factor’ to swing the results, this gives the angle of- view and the large viewfinder image that 35mm film photographers know and love."
