Today Canon announced the replacement of their legendary 5D. The new 5D Mark II now boasts a 21 MP sensor with 1080p HD video capability. The best part? It's priced at $2699 (body-only). It's the first full frame DSLR, ever, with an initial offering price less than $3000 (the old 5D was $3500, the 24MP Sony A900 announced last week was priced at $3000, already a surprise to a lot of people).
Though I am a Nikon owner, I have to admit it's very tempting to "jump ship". In fact, had I not resigned from my previous job I would immediately order the new 5D, without even a blink. Alas, now I don't have the luxury of shopping therapy, I have to quench that desire (teeth clenched) and focus on the "art" of photography. Come to think of it, it may not be a bad thing!
