Nice shots H, but I wonder about your comments regarding the 5D vs newer offerings.

Are these shots really "pushing the envelope" with your 5D? These subjects are well lit and you're using a fast lens, so I presume you're operating at a fairly low ISO. With well lit subjects, the differences between my 6yo camera and a 1yo camera are small, but for low-light subjects the newer sensors produce far superior results in terms of noise, colour accuracy and dynamic range.

I know the older chips have larger pixels with their lower MP count, and there are physical reasons why this is superior, but I believe the electronics attached to the chips have come a long way in 6 years.

I'm not disregarding the results you are producing with this camera when used in this manner, but I don't agree it would be Canon's finest offering.
