I'm starting to come around a little bit on the 5D. But I've
decided that there is no way I'd buy one new. The way Canon
obsoletes models, I should be able to pick one up used in a few
months for a song. The 5D will be yesterday's newspaper as
quickly as the 20D (remember that groundbreaking, end-all,
be-all camera?).
But your point about digital cameras being a commodity is an
unfortunate reality. Frankly, 3-5MP is more than sufficient for
99% of all pictures and will be so for many decades to come.
Even though technology keeps advancing, the uses and users
don't.
