My new baby: EOS 5D
I treated myself to a new baby today: a Canon EOS 5D. I’ve been after one of these for a long time - it seemed so fitting as I used a film Canon EOS 5 for many years before I got into digital with my EOS 20D. I’m pretty sure that Canon are going to replace the 5D with an EOS 5D Mark II, but given the likely price hike when the replacement comes out, and the relativly few enhancements that you’ll get for that extra money, I think I’ll be pretty happy with this version.
The best thing about it is the full frame sensor and the massive viewfinder that this gives you. This makes all my lenses much wider than they were on the 20D (in fact, its just like using them on my film SLR 
), which is fantastic for some of the kinds of photography I like.
It’s been chucking it down with rain today so I haven’t had much of a chance to play with it, but I’ve got all of tomorrow still to come!
