Apart from the fact its an APS sized sensor it seems it outperforms a 5D Mk11.
But how important is it to have a 35mm format sensor?
I know my first EOS film camera had great depth of field with its 24-105mm lens. The later DSLRs 20 and 40D took great photos but lack that depth of field that makes so many shots look great.
Perhaps its wiser to wait for the 5D Mark 111 which should be out in the next few months.
I want a camera to do landscape shots as well as time lapse videos.
Alex is the reining champ and he uses a Nikon D3 I think.
Comments?

Greg, for astro-landscapes my vote goes for the full frame too. Main reason - wide angle is wider with the larger sensor. 14mm gives you 114 degrees diagonally on 35mm and 91 with APS-C. For time lapses I find the wider - the better.
I use Nikon D700 (D3 in a smaller body), D3S is one f/stop better in noise department. My main argument in favour of Nikon is the Nikkor 14-24mm lens. Nothing like it exists with competitors, however you can use it with an adaptor. Also I don't see any reason to go higher than 12MP for night time landscapes because there is no high-frequency detail there to utilise higher resolution (just my view).
D700 is going cheaper now awaiting a new (most likely higher MP) model.
Cheers,
Alex
