Oh, I was not linking 5D to this info.  Toward the end of the post, I just
remember that there was an article about sales of K100D exceeded 5D, and 5D
was not as popular as initially thought mainly due to lens issue.
Sharp increase of 5D and 350D is due to heavy discount Canon just started.
Probably due to model change.  I understand that the sale of K100D kept
increasing.
Talking about lens issue, I believe Pentax have been quietly overhauling
their lens line to conform to the digital requirement.  DFA equivalent of
former FA telephoto (with USM) should come out.  No wonder FA suddenly
disappeared.  I do not think Canon is quite ready yet for FF model like 5D.
Nice camera but can use only very selected L lenses to get the max
performance from it.
Interesting to see what's going to happen toward Photokina  when many new
models should come out.  350D upgrade is already leaking but does not
interest me.  It appears to have some sort of (mild) dust reduction sys.

Cheers,
