canon EOS: classification and specifications?

zoossh · 7th February 2007

As a listing of current EOS models, would the following classification be appropriate if I set in comparison with Nikon with Nikon D200 as a semi-pro level?

Entry & enthusiast level:
350D (2005 Mar)
400D (2006 Sep)

Expert & semi-professional level:
20D (2004 Sep)
30D (2006 Mar)
5D (2005 Oct)

High end & professional level:
1D Mark II (2004 Apr)
1D Mark II N (2005 Oct)
1Ds Mark II (2004 Nov)

I'm using UK's canon site for the listing.
what would you recommend instead that shows a far more organised specifications of the canon EOS models with more variety and ease of reference?

i think i can agree with those categories.

some may consider the 5D to be pro? but imo, it's semi-pro.

5D can considered to be a cheaper FF compared to those 1Ds.. imho, it can also be pro camera..

i thought classification is best by features and skills required. some newer entry levels may have better specifications and sensor technology compared to older enthusiasts levels, hence i tend to group rather by the amount of features and creative control.

5D is still considered semi-pro.
