With the imminent appearance of the Canon 50D, the price of the 5D has
fallen (there will be a new one in this line).
Thus if I can get either the 50D or the 5D for a similar price, which
would you suggest?
One is old technology but full sensor and the other new technology dust
prevention and APS-C sensor.
With good but not very good lenses, I am told the full sensor is better.
But one would not get the digic 4 and various functions. So what?
Opinions with some explanations, would be most appreciated.

grab the new 5D instead:

I can not afford that sort of budget. What about the present 5D (digic II) compared top the new 50D. Same price for 50D plus lens as 5D body only and I have lenses for it.
