Please do not get confused.
Oh, but I am, and thoroughly... LOL
The 5D is a full frame sensor, with much larger photosites than the D300.
Define 'full-frame sensor vs. the D300's sensor.
They are nowhere near the same camera.
But, on-screen, they seem to be actually quite close.
The image quality that can be had from the D300 is not in the ballpark of the 5D.
Why, other than lenses?? Are the Canon lenses that much better in optics than the Nikon?
That's not to say the D300 isn't a great camera, it is... but it's no 5D in the sensor dept. Plus, the 5D is Canon's 3 year old technology, and people are still comparing it to the (current) D300 LOL. The 5D will be replaced/upgraded soon too.
But if it's still being offered, isn't it a valid comparison?
