Wow thats bad. I think I'd wait for the upgrade.
I don't know much about the Canon line, my stuff is Nikon. I'm still waiting for that "perfect" camera myself - all the features of my D200 in full frame, but I want better resolution if I'm dropping that much money again.

The advantage of full frame has to do with pixel density on the CMOS / CCD. Even an "analog" lens has a finite level of resolution, and current pixel counts on cropped sensors (DX in Nikon speak, don't know what Canon calls it) approaches the limit of the lens. Some people think that much over 8mp on a cropped sensor is about the limit.
So, with a full frame sensor, you can take advantage of higher pixel counts. That matters to me, because I print most of my work at 16x20 and larger. I'd like to print some of my landscapes at 36" wide, but I don't have the resolution. Yet.
