Fullframe vs. APS-C sensors
Canon have made a significant step in DSLR technology by producing a full frame camera which is selling for under $3000. They seem to be on a path which may end up - in maybe 3 to 5 years time - with a full frame "prosumer" DSLR sellng perhaps in the $1500 region. However currently, and for the forseeable future, the EOS 5D is second only to the $7100 Canon EOS 1Ds Mk II in terms of image quality and is, I think, the best bang for the buck out there if you're looking for the highest image quality from a DSLR.

It's a win, but not a total "slam dunk" for the full frame sensor, at least as far as the EOS 5D vs. EOS 20D goes. With good lenses the results from the Canon EOS 5D are better, though with noticeably higher vignetting when lenses are used wide open. Of course you can mostly compensate for vignetting in software, but still you may lose something. With low cost lenses shot wide open, the full frame advantage disappears, and in situations where you have your longest lens in use on an APS-C camera, switching to a lower pixel density full frame camera and cropping will lead to lower resolution images.
