If only Canon would let us design their cameras....they should totally hire us...
[ And let's make it with an EF mount. That way, when regular EF lenses are attached, the camera reverts to a "full frame" camera.]
Nice idea, good use of crop technology.
The EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 (non-L) IS... Does have IS. And there's no 70-300mm without it. You must be thinking of the older 75-300mm.
One of my concerns with these more blatant modifications is that it cheapens the field of photography, and turns it into more of a field for those with the best graphics artists skills. Consumers and viewers of such art may become more jaded and question more and more geniune work from that in which the capture was "cheated" and not necessarily know the difference. More honest photographers trying to capture the real image and portray the scene as it appeared suffer from this type of abuse.
As a consequence of this today it is typical to see some photo contest or submission requirements state "no photoshop". But this type of blatant statement disregards the distinction between edits that I would define as addressing the limitations of the camera capture and edits that are simply creating a scene or composition that simply did not exist. Edits for addressing exposure, spot removal, color calibration, etc. are really no different than what was possible before in the dark room, albeit at a much higher level of quality and ease. At the risk of being accused of self promotion, I have written about that here (http://www.stephenfischerphotography.com/Commentaries/Limits_of_photoshop/Ethical_limits_of_photoshop.html) in the context of potentially using forensic techniques as discussed by Dr. Neal Krawetz in his blog: http://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/. But there is probably no point in such a dissection here, as it is already clear. It would be interesting to see more photo tool development go toward identifying such work, as I think that would be handy to help improve the "truthiness" in the field of photography.
An "EOS 3C" (between the 1 & 5 and targetted at cinema) would let them escape the problems of naming their camera "3D" if it doesn't shoot 3D video.
Your 70-300 IS is a good lens and you'll have to spend quite a bit more to get anything sharper with IS at 300mm.I dont think that 70-300 has IS you might be confusing it with the newer L

Well I personally am about to pick up a 5dII. Coming from an xti, Im more than confidant that it will be a great upgrade in all aspects. Much greater than a jump from 5dII to 5DIII. However, what I wonder is, if this camera is announced end of the month. Will we see the 5DII dip below 2000 again? I feel like I should wait a few more weeks to find out..
thats a big difference to someone that want to get in at the ground floor of full frame. 
With all this talk about truth...I wonder how you guys feel about photographers using photoshop, particularly of actress's/model's faces in magazines that has been "altered". Isn't it pretty much the same concept?Yeah I REALLY dislike that look too and all the ads for the horrible cookie cutter turn a troll into barbie software
