I am making the jump from my Rebel XT to the 5D, skipping the 30D - 20D which probably would've offered better perspective but making the move to FF is a big deal to me. Can't wait to see how much more I will get out it at 50 and 17. :D

Congrats man. Once you see that LARGE viewfinder, you will be floored like I was when I first looked through it. You will love it, and with your current lenses, its like getting new ones!! Welcome to the FF club!!!

Just be warned (seriously), you will never look through the view finder of your XT ever again. I tried to use my XTi after I got my 5D .. it just feels so constricted ... like looking through a tunnel...

Thanks everyone, if it's any consolation I will totally have buyers remorse over this just like I did when I got my 70-200 but I will get over it eventually.

Your lens will shine on the 5D.
Awesome...and you've got the 50 to fill that hole.

Enjoy!

Congrats! I'm fighting the upgrade demons in my head right now. 3/4 of my lenses are efs right now, so that's where the mental battle is coming into play.

Thanks everyone!

I hear what you are saying, the fact that I already have a couple of lenses that are compatible made the decision much easier. Even though I have been pleased with the rebel, I really feel ready to move up.
