I would guess its the 5D, or if your looking at brand new cameras, the 5D Mark II.

Not sure what sort of budget you have Tom but to be honest no 5D MK1 or MK2 is very cheap.
Is there a specific reason for wanting full frame ? |

The 5D Mark II has a ridiculous resolution and is $200 cheaper than Nikon's cheapest full-frame, the D700 (which, by the way, is begging for an update).
Do you really wanna spend $2500 on a camera, though? Buy the 7D for $1700 instead, then get the Sigma 8-16mm. If you do update to full-frame after that, though, the Sigma won't do you any good.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II
Canon EF 24mm f/2.8
Canon EF 35-105mm f/4.5-5.6
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM for Canon
If your on a budget, I'm sure you can still find a 5D kicking around. New, or used could be an option. Although, the investment in a 5D markII would be sound and easily attainable. This 21mp body, should keep you happy for a long time. Plus it would be great with you EF lenses.
Just be prepared to sell the ef-s lens you have. As they will not be compatible. Although, you could keep them with the backup xsi. Or sell them out, for a 16 - 40 f4L, plus a little$. I my self am looking for a new full frame. I'l probably go the 5DII route, although the 1DsIII keeps calling. Anyone have a spare $7000?

Where are you seeing this? The Mark II is $100 more than the D700 at Amazon. |
