The 5D is a very nice camera in its price point. I love the 24 - 70 2.8 and 70 - 200 2.8 IS on the rare occasion that I need auto and IS All I'm saying is: Put the same Leica glass on 5D and DMR and you will see a difference in the print the DMR will deliver more fine detail, dynamic range and shadow detail. I've done the side by side comparison. I've also done side by side tests using identical view camera lenses on 5D, DMR and M8 same results the 5D cannot deliver the fine detail, dynamic range and shadow detail that the DMR and M8 deliver you can see it on the screen and in the prints I attribute it to the CCD versus Cmos but I don't have the tech knowledge to really know why they test out as they do in all tests the cameras are locked down on a rock solid tripod focused on same subject with same lighting same f stop I also agree that if they're going to press 90% of people will not notice a difference but I notice and I'm the first one they have to get past and I've trained my clients to notice so that they stick with me Fond regards, George george@imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist On Sep 25, 2008, at 9:56 PM, Jayanand Govindaraj wrote: > Therefore I go back > and say that each design has its place and function, and that is the > rationale for acquiring it.
