of course, but for the price difference alone, I know what I'd prefer.
I'd hate to have been one of those poor fuckers who bought a 7D for 24p video and then they release the rebel for a fraction of the cost that shoots 24p natively and THEN release firmware for the mkII to shoot 24p.
So glad I waited.

aargh my head hurts. I was referring to 5D classic rather than Mark II
I thought part of the point of SLRS was the greater shooting speed compared to a normal point and shoot
I have the G10 which is great but can be pretty slow at times.... I think I just
need to try out the different cameras and make up my mind that way.
Thanks so much for all the advice anyhow, much food for thought... so just to check...no real difference between the xti and 7D really
autofocus and a couple of other features?
I think a lot of it will come down to the feel of it too, the lighter xti might feel more awkward with big ass
lenses attached, although less to lug around. although full frame...
get a 50mm 1.4 - sweet lens...
Yep, a big cam 'handles' a big lens so much better.I think a lot of it will come down to the feel of it too, the lighter xti might feel more awkward with big ass

The 5D has a brighter/larger viewfinder too,doesn't really sound like a big deal, but it isnicer to shoot through and useful if you ever want to put old manual lenses onto your camera.
my two cents...
5d classic is a great camera - unless you need those extra 9 million pixels for bus shelter ads id go for that above the mkii...i picked up for one with a battery grap for 1k second hand there a few months.
huge step up from aps-c cameras in terms of detail color depth etc. - it was the first time I saw results from a dslr that rivals med format film in that regard. (admittedly, im coming to the digital age somewhat later than many)
dont get too hung up on af speed unless your shooting sport/wildlife/riots.

youve been getting great stuff on your g10 btw!

Yes to everything you said, dunno about Conn's.
Always try to haggle with them btw, be it price or length of warranty.
You should always check here too for good quality 2nd hand stuff. (my sale of a lens fell thru this morning because of a tiny white speck of dust in the lens!)

My head hurts from reading all this but I am thinking of trying to get a DSLR some time this year so bear with me ...
The 5D is full frame right?
The 7D isn't?
The 7D has more megapixels than the 5D?
There are a bunch of second hand 5D's in Conns for 999 at the moment ...
Great now decisions are made I can get all worried about accidentally buying a flawed camera.
When buying my car I got really paranoid because I know nothing about them
no way of knowing who's trying to rip you off...
obviously not saying your man wasn't overly fussy but he obviously knew how to examine
a lens for any tiny little thing.
Happy choosing Hugh!
moos and I had a very long and boring (for anyone standing next to us) drunken conversation over weekend,
alas I still can't decide nor really remember what was suggested.
I guess what I'm really wondering is: is full frame that spectacular or would it be ages before you really
noticed a need for it?
I find i'm very slow getting to grips with all the functions on cameras so it takes me a while to push anthing to where I notice
capabilities I want or shortcomings etc..
