5 years from now...

Everything is pretty much is HD already. No need to wait 5 years. I have shot HD 1080p video with my 7D and the quality is awesome. I have also frame grabbed from it for some pictures for different stuff. It is still a good quality picture but still not as good as if I were to take the shot as a still with my camera. So as far as everything being HD and people just doing photo grabs I don't agree with completely. There will always be a market for photographers no matter what.

FPS > video mode

The 5D I wouldn't really call "pro level" myself. Not that professionals can't use them...

Kinda rude, but nevertheless.. Mind linking the page of the 5d for 800$?

Alright thanks I kinda meant the newer models though

but the OP wasn't referring to the newer models.

however, if that's any indication, to answer your question then yes the 5D MkII will be less than $1000 in five years. Hell, I just bought an a700 that, three years ago would have cost $1200, for $350.

Nothing depreciates faster than a Sony.

Alright awesome! Let's just hope that Canon throws out tons more amazing cameras so that price values drop I really wish the 7D was APS-H, I love the crop for the reach but noise performance always disappoints me. APS-H is right in the middle for me
