It's not the glass that makes the great photos, it's the camera.
Amature or Pro, if you're new in this game get the 350D, than replace it once you can afford the 1DMkII. |
Why get a 350d if you're just going to want to upgrade in a few months to the 20d or the 5d? Oh...by the way, you weren't clear enough...did you say you thought I was wrong? :-p~

| I would also like to point out that fast glass will affect the focusing of cameras. Focus speed means nothing unless there is light for the sensor. So the L lenses that will typically have faster speeds like 2.8 or better, will focus on any camera body better than the cheaper 4-5.6 lenses. Just food for thought. |

Once you feel a 1 series camera in your hands it's hard to go back. Just a warning.
I would recommend the 20D and some good glass. The $1400 price difference is pretty big right now.

A good comparison chart between the 1Ds Mark II & 1Ds is here:

Can someone send me winning Powerball numbers??

I was in a similar boat. I was thinking about upgrading to a 20D or it's replacement or the 1D Mark II or the newer N version. I decided to get the N version over the 20D or it's replacement for the following main reasons.
The LCD is a lot bigger in the N with more pixels, it has a 22 RAW buffer, the 20D has 6, and the ISO is visible on the viewfinder.
Some of the minor reasons were that it's built more solid with built in verticle grip and has a better battery, weather sealing, bigger viewfinder, 200,000 shutter life cycle, ability to zoom the image on LCD while the image is being written on to the CF card.
I'm still not convinced that it's sensor and imaging system is better than the 20D though. The biggest downside is the increase in price, weight, and lack of built in flash. I've used both of them out shooting with fellow photogs and I just prefer the 1D Mark II, the N version should be even nicer with a lower price.
You'll have to decide if the extra cost is worth it for you or not.

Tom,
I hope I can get out to LA this Fall and shoot with the group again. Hopefully by then I'll have the 5D and we can compare notes :-)

Fritz,
Any time, any time. I'm out shooting almost every weekend now. I'd love to see you with the 5D that you've been drooling over for a long time now. Now you can finally have that FF wide shots that the 10D didn't allow. Imagine what that Peleng 8mm will look like on a FF sensor.
As for me, I've been slowly progressing from entry level lens to more expensive lenses and now am looking towards the IIN and using the DR as a second/back up camera so I don't have to change lenses all the time.
