Hi

I am selling my jetski to buy a Canon Digital SLR and until recently
had my eye set on the Canon 5D.

I spent the last weekend in a houseboat with jetskis and took photos
with a friend's Canon 20D of people on the back of a tube being towed
by my brother's jetski. I found the 5 frames per second very handy. In
fact so handy that I have been thinking about buying the 20D over the
5D for this reason alone. I am hoping to sell my jetski soon and if I
do, I would most likely wait until April to buy my digital SLR so I can
buy the camera tax free as I will be going overseas.

I have a 28-135 IS lens, 70-200 f2.8 lens and a 16-35 f2.8 Canon lenses
that I use with my Canon EOS 3. If there was only a digital back that I
could slap on my Canon EOS 3, I would be one of the first to buy this
digital back as the EOS 3 is an awesome camera and in my opinion, there
isn't a Canon digital camera at a reasonable price that is as well
featured or performs as good EOS 3. The 1DS Mark IIN is just way too
heavy.

I like the Specs of the Nikon D200, but I am not prepared to change my
camera brand. Does anybody know if there will be a replacement for the
20D in the near future? Or if a firmware upgrade will eventually enable
an improvment to the Frames Per Seconds on the 5D. The 3 Frames per
second is just too slow for my liking. Will it be possible in future to
buy a digital back for my EOS 3?

Thank you
