I was a very early adopter of digital cameras, starting with a Kodak 1MP camera back in about 93? From there I purchased a Sony F-525 and later a Sony F-828
I had been waiting for a DSLR with a full frame sensor in a high resolution. The initial reviews were all very positive, even glowing, so I went ahead and purchased the following kit
Canon 5D body
16-35mm lens
24-105mm lens
70-200mm lens
580ex flash
What I love about the camera / lenses
1. The lack of autofocus lag - in all but the lowest light situations, it's almost non-existent.
2. The solid feel of the camera. Yes, it's not sealed against water, but then, I've always tended not to take my photos standing in the rain, so no loss for me there.
3. Doing raw + HQ jpeg both, I can shoot 9 shots at 3fps. For the work I do that is more than enough, and I can easily extend it out by just doing jpeg.
4. I had trully missed the complete control that I had when shooting my 35mm and 645 film cameras.
5. The amazingly low amount of noise even at higher ISO's
6. The battery life is very good.
7. The flash is simply amazing. Powerful enough to light up insides of hotel atriums, entire outside of a home. I've since purchased a 2nd 580ex and and use them with umbrellas, have been able to get some great protrait shots with that set up.
You can see some samples of the work on my website :

Now things I don't like
1. The weight of the camera and lenses can get to be a bit much at time.
2. The sensor seems to be a true dust magnet
