Tbartick- Thanks, when I saw my complete post in yours I thought you were going to blast me!
Yakim- Yes, the 70-200/4LIS is a great lens with a price to match. If you really need a IS tele that is small, it is a compeling reason.
Caleb- The 5D is a great camera and if I stay with Canon I may get one when the prices drop. Canon works on aggregate demand, not Anselwannab demand I know  . My point was that the FF sensor is the main distinguisher or competitive advantage of Canon and it is not really aimed at the meat of the market. It is like the corvette at Chevy dealers. It may draw people in, make them feel better about the brand, but they sold a lot more chevetttes than corvettes. When I got the 20D Canon seemed to have everyone faded. They made their own sensors, had way more IS/VR lenses. Now it just aint there.
The 28-105IS USM is a great lens, on a FF camera, but with the eq of a 45mm lens at the wide end on a 1.6x sensor, they are going othave to buy a 10-22 or 17-40 soon.
I have a feeling that with crop sensors being the main product, they may have a lot of 28-105s sitting around, or at least don't see much of a future for it as a starter lens.
