I'm looking to upgrade (either lenses or body) eventually (or both) and am wondering WHAT to begin saving for??? Any suggestions? My initial thought was to get one of the L series lenses (all i have is a image stab small zoom and a 50mm 1.8 lenses). I am fairly a newbie at this all, just drooling over other photog's beautiful works of art! I currently own the xti and do mostly portrait work (babies, children, and families).

I do not have any but if you do, they will not. Most lenses will work though. I would guess the 5d will be better at high ISOs and it will give me more room in small spaces since it is full frame.

Like you, I have too much invested in Canon lenses that I won't switch to a different brand. I did notice that it takes a different battery grip. :( I currently have the 30D and 40D and previously had the 10D and 20D. I have been fortunate to have people ask me if they can buy my old cameras when I am ready to upgrade so I always have the incentive to upgrade. Do you think the 5D will be that much better than your 40D? Any input you have, I would appreciate. Will all our lenses for the 40D work on the new 5D?

I have an OLD 20d and a 40D. I will likely give my twins (almost 7) the 20d to learn on. And I will use the 40d for sports and the 5d mark II for portrait work. I almost wanted to switch to Nikon with that D700. BUT I love my Canon L Glass. I have invested in it and LOVE the 35L and 85L especially. I have a few other zoom L lenses which are nice - but these primes are the reason I stay! I actually do not have the 5D. I have an OLD 20d and a 40D.

I was waiting to see what it might hold, but going to stay with my ole trusty D3 and D700. The frames per second is just not high enough and doesn't sound like they have improved the AF system when it comes to shooting sports. For weddings I can say the ISO of 6400 is fantastic. However, overall performance at this price range the D700 has more of an edge with better feature set. All in all an improvement over the past 5D, but thought there might be more WOW!

Sounds pretty nice. Now to decide to be a first adopter and help Canon test it, or wait for the firmware upgrade when they fix everything! I love Canon gear, but it seems they do release new bodies before they are bulletproof. They are still having some issues with the 1D MIII. WOW! Sounds pretty nice.
