Compact, lightweight with environmental protection, EOS 5D successor boasts a newly designed Canon CMOS sensor, with ISO sensitivity up to 25,600 for shooting in near dark conditions. The new DIGIC 4 processor combines with the improved CMOS sensor to deliver medium format territory image quality at 3.9 frames per second, for up to 310 frames.

Triggered from Live View Mode, HD video capture allows users to shoot uninterrupted at full 1080 resolution at 30fps – for amazing quality footage with outstanding levels of detail and realism.

Yeah- that's insane! It's too good to be true. I'm pretty sure I'll get me one of those 3-4 months from now, when the price has settled and all the yet undescovered flaws have been discovered. I have been waiting for this camera for a long time now, so seeing it finally happen is awesome!

I'm also wanting to buy my first SLR to learn photography as a hobby, but I'm really stuck on the camera.

I have thought about the Nikon D60, Canon 1000D, and I keep going up in price, over wondering about the 450D (and its twin lense? But the second lense offering no IS stabalation

), but I'm a beginner, wanting to get better, and I have no idea the best way to go, and also, what budget lenses to get that'd possibly do all the ranges I'd need.

The reason I wanted an SLR in the first place was to offer full manual control for learning, and also, for the low amount of noise you get on shots, useful for textures mostly, but also for references, and general photography where I'd want to blow up to full size on the monitor.
I don't think I'd print much.

Maybe someone could help?
