Which Camera Should I Buy - Part Two

Which Camera Should I Buy - Part Two - Canon EOS 5D or EOD 30D?

Q.

I am a budding photographer and I am currently researching the net for all the help I can get. I have the Rebel XT and want to upgrade. I am trying to decide between the 30D and the 5D. Any suggestions?

A.

With regards to the two cameras you are considering it is mainly down to personal preference and whether you want to retain the 1.6x crop factor or go full frame?

Both are excellent cameras with very similar specs. I use the 5D for weddings and stock and absolutely love it. If you can afford the difference, have a serious think about the 5D.
