While not "cheap" at an MSRP of US$3300, the 2 Lb 5D does promise a
lot:
Finally a spot meter.
Full frame.
Large monitor.
0.3EV ISO steps.
A few "odd" things:
6 "invisible assist AF points" within the spot meter circle...
1/200 sync. (v. 1/250 in the 20D, not that important).
Viewfinder is 0.71x, but considering "full frame" that's
understandable, should be bright.
Dumped the AF assist light (or was it via the built
in flash in the 20D?)
3 fps v 5 in the 20D. (Proving again that high fps is not
that important)
Sample images from the source:

So? Which D60/20D/10D shooters are feeling temptation... when the
price inneviably falls under $3K ... $2.5K ... do you leap?
Bret I bet.
Cheers,
Alan
