Ok as you know I am not a Nikon man, but that is pretty irrelevant for the sake of what I am going to say.

 

I have had the same dilemma myself only in my case it is new glass or the EOS 5D, so pretty much the same situation.

 

For me the new glass comes first, firstly because the 5D is a FF sensor camera and will most likely show all the imperfections in lesser glass. Secondly because I am very happy with the 20D and can get prints beyond A3 from it.

Lastly and maybe most importantly I have seen the 5D price slide over the last few months (Almost 1k UKP less than the release price) whilst the glass will most likely maintain its price, so waiting for the glass is not likely to save me many £££.

 

I guess the bottom line is what you want more and what glass it is you want, bearing in mind that better glass will also mean better prints.
