Photophile: Deciding on a new camera

I'm having a tough time parting with my RebelXT. She still takes dynamite shots, but I am looking to do more studio and professional shots.  Above we see one of my options the new Canon 5D Mark II. I have finally talked myself off of the 1Ds Mark III cliff [8k I can keep!], but this time of year and the millions of jobs I work...begin to get a tad impulsive around tax time. After the jump Lori & friends give reviews for some other gems that I can't help, but salivate over.

Nikon D90 - Death Of The "Mechanical Shutter"

Excerpt from Dailytech:

"In addition to the pictures, Nikon Rumors says that it has final specifications for the camera which are sure to impress even the most vocal critic. The D90 will have a 12.3MP image sensor, 3" (900k) LCD, 11-point autofocus system, and Live-View.

Perhaps the most talked about feature, however, is the D90's ability to capture video with its image sensor. Although details are sketchy at the moment, the camera will also have a microphone and speaker built-in for recording and playing back sound with capture video.

According to Nikon Rumors, the Nikon D90 will be formally announced on August 27"
