That's a tough one, but the models I'd recommend right now are in the best buys section at cameralabs . com...

all i can say is don't hesitate,buy 5d m2 its the best camera there is.

Oh they will bring the price down in three years time dude. you can always benefit on a 21 megapixel like the 5d m2 you just have to find out what, camera wont do everything for you.

I have been using the 5d with 24-105 f4L for 18 months. It's a great camera. Now the 5d Mk 11 is available I am tempted to upgrade to that. But I doubt 22mpx will be of any benefit in a hand-held situation - which is virtually 100% of my shooting these days, so I can't see an extra £1600 with trade in value being worth the trouble, or the cost. Come on Canon, make it worth my while by bringing the price down.

Nice video! But I still can't use EF-S lenses on it :(

Hi Gordon,
I am about to buy a 5D in the near future, with some lenses but then i had this thought, "will it be more clever to save the money for a Mark II and buy a single lens?". I shall also notice that i know alot about DSLRs, but i never had one - so if i buy 5D it is practicly, my first DLSR.
Thanks, and thanks for the videoes as well!

Hi DJJOHN, I'd recommend checking out our Canon 5D Mark II preview at cameralabs . com so you're sure about all the differences - you may also enjoy our most recent Sony A900 review. If you want to discuss it further, feel free to post on the cameralabs forums!

great review!
I'm planning to buy one. I'm just concerned about a possible hardware issue of the 50D. some say it produces error 99.
cameralabs (October 19, 2008 at 3:14 pm)
Are you talking about error 99 on the 5D or 50D? I've never seen it personally on a 5D, but I did have it once on the 50D while testing it - see my review at cameralabs . com for details. And if you are thinking of the 5D, remember the 5D Mark II will be out in a month - see our preview, again at cameralabs...
