Wishful Thinking

I love it when all those silent wishes come true. Especially on my birthday.

Canon has announced the 5D, after much speculation and churning of the rumor mill.

At 12.8mp, equipped with a full frame sensor and at the fairly reasonable price of $3,300, it's not only the dream of many photographers who have been lusting after the 1Ds Mark II, but also my personal dream come true. Not having to shell out $8,000 for a full frame camera (which will render my wide-angle lenses for architectural work at their intended width), and still getting the higher resolution is quite simply perfect.

So thank you, Canon. I appreciate the fact that you've listened to your clients and come up with a nice middle-of-the-road camera that gives us pros one more reason to stick to Canon as the preferred method of capturing high-end imagery.
