Yes. I am sorry for the tone of my earlier message; I'm not well today and
possibly a little grumpy.
I don't sell a lot of prints yet either, but I make a lot as part of my
learning process. What I've been seeking is really just something digital
that is idiot-proof enough to let me shoot the way I did with tri-x,
diafine, m6 and get acceptable results. I tried for a long time with
Olympus DSLRs, but they didn't meet this requirement despite being excellent
in many ways. The 5D was the first digital camera I tried that could do it,
although it was clearly inferior to the E3 in several ways.
I get excited now by the 5D2 because it not only has enough dynamic range to
allow for careless technique, which is probably all I really needed, but
also delivers results in prints that I prefer to anything I've produced with
any of the other equipment I've tried at any time.
My requirements are probably not typical, anyway, and I do understand why
you've not been satisfied with your camera (and perhaps also Lightroom,
which for me only needs to work better than a spare bedroom filled with
hundreds of rolls of undeveloped or unscanned film, and countless hours
spent locked in the bathroom in the dark!)
