I'm returning to Canon after several months with the Nikon format. I know Av and Tv and the dials are different, but am trying to remember (no memory card or lens yet) the differences between the two. I've got a used 5D and it seems like a giant compared to my old D80. Is it bigger than the 30D too? Feels like a monster to me right now... Cleo

Nov 17, 2008 20:22 | #3 Thanks! Hope I can do it justice. It was always sort of a pipe dream of mine to have one. As so many of you know, I had my share of lenses, lol. We'll see how I do with the full frame. Seems to be an oldy, but a goodie. Cleo

I was working for a company in NC that used Nikon D80s for their shoots. I wanted that format - as it was my first photography job - so that it would feel like second nature to me before doing shoots - it ultimately came in very handy as I was always the one chosen to do a shoot because I had the camera already. Now we're back in Mass. and the price of a used 5D was doable (had to re-locate due to my husband's job, which sort of sucked). Cleo

Nov 19, 2008 13:30 | #12 Thanks guys. I've had enough gear to know there is no such thing as the Holy Grail! LOL. I think I enjoy switching my gear around almost as much as I enjoy shooting. There's always a learning experience to be had. Never intended to be a PITA about it. Apologies if I did... Cleo

The 5D is a great camera.
