I bought a 30D to complement my 5D for the extra reach and the faster frames per second. Do others like this combo also?

FlyingPete I am immune  More info | Why not just crop the 5D images, effective resoltion will remain very simular to using the 8MP cropped frame camera. Peter Lowden.

Not true. You will have something little under 6MP and resolution will be missing. Fuji XT-1, 18-55mm

Still trying to figure out how I'm going to carry both camera's around comfortably (while not in my bag) but I don't regret the decision one bit! Canon EOS 30D w/ grip, 5D, 430EX, 580EX II, MT-24EX

I just sold my 40D because of this, I NEVER used it. I might pick up a refurb 30D in the future, at least then it won't depreciate so much. connecticut wedding photographer

Fake?  5d, 1dmk2, 30d, and 400d starting from left. Now the reach is not coz of FF vs crop, it is due to pixel density. That is why 100% crop from 5d and 1dmk2 look almost the same as they same pixel density. Fuji XT-1, 18-55mm

rayatphonix Member 211 posts Joined Nov 2006 Location: NC More info | Jun 04, 2008 08:01 | #14 I use the 5D/20D combo all the time. I love the 20D for telephoto and some macro shots where it's tough to get close to the subject. The 30D would be even better. I usually carry both with me, and most often, both are around my neck. The biggest problem with that is one rubbing against the other creating scratches, marks, etc. It's not an issue to me; I'll keep both until they die and can't be fixed and then upgrade. It would be an issue if I wanted to sell one down the road.

tom777 Member 88 posts Joined Dec 2006 Location: South Dakota, USA More info | Jun 04, 2008 08:29 | #15 I would think the 5D/30D would be an excellent FF/crop combo. Controls are nearly identical, batteries are the same etc... Of course I'm saying this not actually owning a 5D as I have the 40D to go with my 30D instead.
