Quote: I doubt it, 'cos there's no future in 35mm sensors
Keith having been around long enough I remember why the dSLR was no good, why Canon was not as good as Sony, why L series are not that good, why RAW is a waste of time, E2 is not worth joining, as well as no future for the 35mm sensor.
The next stage is the embracing of HDR.
My possible move to FF has been well-documented on here. It has just come a a few months earlier than originally envisaged! 
The £1000 reduction on the launch price of the 5D (and I was not one who rushed like a lemming to get a glitchy early model 
) has obviously put a different complexion on things.
Quote: some acquaintance offering him a king's ransom for a tired old 20D that he just couldn't refuse.
Sorry to disappoint - it was sold to a stranger!
;-D

You did consistantly trash the 5D CB - it was almost as if you secretly wanted one all along!
The price has been comming down for ages. I purchased mine 12 months ago - for £900 less than the orignal RRP.
For what it's worth, if you have the 17-40, 50mm prime and 70-200, you are pretty well sorted as far as lenses are concerned. I only went for the 24-105 because I didn't already have the 17-40.
Glitches?
What were they then?
Had mine since Focus 2006 with no issues at all.
Why is there no future in 35mm sensors? I think
Much as some might hate the thought I think Canon might know what they are about, being the biggest in the business. They perhaps have some idea that there will be some mileage to be had from full frame or sensors with a smaller crop factor such as the 1dMkIII.
I would settle for the 1.3 crop on the 1DMkIII but I have no children to sell and the wife refuses prostitution as an alternative.
So, is £550 for a 20D to much to ask?
Quote: I wonder if the 5D has suddenly become the best thing since sliced bread?
No. I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but sliced bread is notoriously poor as a means of taking good photographs.
Quote: Sometimes you have to dive in to the pool, rather than hovering on the brink!
I agree. And the water's surprisingly warm for the time of year, don't you think?

I disagree. It's all a matter of technique. Obviously you'd have to trim the bread to roughly 5" x 4", then coat it in something to make it waterproof and then, in a darkroom, spread a layer of light-sensitive material over one side. After that, place it in a modified darkslide and expose in the LF camera of your choice.
Develop as you would a normal sheet and Robert's your mother's brother. With a bit of practice, and the right chemicals, you could get quite a decent image from your slice of bread.
Try that with digital and see how far you get.... :oP
Well, either you a) find a loaf that's 5x4" in cross-section, b) cut down the one you already have or c) adapt the camera to fit your loaf. Taking the most expedient route would suggest b) as the most viable alternative. Obviously, there's nothing to stop you baking your own bread to the required size....
I'd suggest fruit bread. Holds its shape better, is quicker to make and bake, and you can get tins to fit the required length and width and then just cut into slices. And then proceed as per Joolz's suggestions above. Simple, really.
Sliced bread is just way too friable.
