Canon 20D and 17-85 VS Canon 5D and 24-105

Philip Harle comparing the EOS 5D/24-105 f4L IS combination with its precedessor, the EOS 20D with Canon 17-85mm f4-5.6 and wrote:
“The 5D and “L” lens, as might be expected, is a little better, but the chromatic aberration is still fairly minging. At 3200ASA, it’s a different story. Both results are softer and noiser, but the 5D is clearly the better of the two.
The 5D and 24-105L combination is better than the 20D and 17-85. No surprise there. Really, the results of my tests are that there are no surprises. The 5D is as good as I expected it to be, and I expected it to be amazing. For my travel purposes, it is better than the chunky EOS 1Ds, making it the best camera currently available, indeed the best camera ever.”
