I'd rather crop from a 1DMkII or a 5D, >since if I don't need to crop, I have a much better image to start with. but like I said, I'd be cropping anyway, would just be more wasted pixels shooting birds... Plus, I think the 5D just has to be quite a bit heavier than the 10d. Haven't really compared, but then again, I'm not ready to put out that kind of money on something that I'd have to crop even more of... For you, well what the heck are you waiting for, get a 5D ;-) -- Jim Davis, Owner, Eastern Beaver Company: http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits, Powerlet, Posi-Lock, Parts, Info, Photos K100RSes on both sides of the planet!
