Thanks for the reply SW. When it comes to ettl-II I have the 550ex and naturally think that i will buy the 580 now. Can i still use the 550 as per normal ( but for the advantage the 580 gives with regards to distance and AWB adjustments ). Do you recommend i dive in for the 580EX

E-TTL II is in the camera; all the EX flashes will allow you to get E-TTL II on a compliant body. What the 430EX/580EX offer that earlier flashes don't are zoom adjusted for sensor size on compliant cameras (not a problem with FF; that was the previous default) and colour temp. reporting to compliant cameras.

I have a question: have you noticed anything differend about the images from 5D? From what I've observed on pbase, they appear medium-formatish, un-flat, deep... y/n?

I have definately seen that the 5D produces some incredible image quality, particularly under lighting conditions that exaggerate depth or shape of things, creating what some have described as a "3D" feeling.

If I could, I'd go back and re-photograph everything I have done in the last few years, to get the "5D version" of the same scenes.

the 5D feels better in the hand and the LCD screen is huge. you have to get used to the shorter focal length of your lenses, that is one of my friends main gripes with her 5D and 24-70L lens.

I agree, I don't know what it is, but the images definitely seem to have more shape and depth. Probably something to do with the depth of field and one amazing sensor

And how! I would love to have the past 3 years worth of images in the higher quality of the 5D. It makes me wish I had borrowed the money to buy a 1DS instead of the 10D!

tikkeltokken - I made this "jump" last November, and (without rehashing what others have correctly stated) the primary differences are the incredibly-viewable viewfinder and the aforementioned improvement in image quality at higher ISO settings. I recently shot an informal (i.e., "non-church") wedding using exclusively 800 and 1600 ISO, and after minimal noise reduction in the raw conversion process the results appear clean, and the resulting prints (to 8 x 10) are exceptional. In regard to the "3-D" image quality, the effect is noticeable even using non-L lenses. Here's an example shot just a couple of days ago with a Sigma 105mm:

WOW compose her, that flower shot really does look 3D...I think I just made the decision to go 5d rather than 30d...

thanks will... thats the reply i like! i shoot fashion shows and the 10D had a problem focussing on a model walking down the ramp with 70-200L. I have the 50/1.4 . The large 5D viewfinder is probably good if youre looking through the thing for hours on end.. which i do. I take it it's less strain to see what's happening on the other side of the lens . Is the focus tracking and AF speed much better ..let's say "spot on". I use the centre point focus.

I realise this is not what you asked, but I have to say it ...

... for runway fashion I'd have thought the 1D2 would be your best bet on all counts. I've used mine like that, and it's just great!
