enough said 

seriously i would ask the same question for wildlife photography between a used 1D mark IV and a 5 D mark III... Here in France we can find a 1D mark IV in good condition for 2000 € ; the 5D III is still around 2800 €

Also consider the 70-300 L.

Definitely a great choice, razorsharp and light with good range

a 350mm f/4 L IS with built in 1.4 x extender . Which give to us an approximatively 500 f/5.6 L IS with the extender on...

under 3500 $ of course

and a very good 7D mark II before the end of the year

the biggest interrogations seem to be on the AF sytem and the sensor, new ones or not

With these specs i guess we can expect an under 2000 $/€ body...

With the incredible wildlife there, tons of birds, mammals... For me it's a no brainer the 500mm with your 5dIII will be a terrific combo !

7D Mark II it is likely to be full frame

so it won't be named 7d but may be 4d or another number...

I was just reading this... it doesn't look good for a 7D mark II this year and in the future

I couldn't resist.  I had to Google "sagittal MRI" and I found this fascinating page using a sagittal MRI of Homer Simpson to explain the subject.  Pretty interesting!!  And if you look at a lot of sagittal MRI images, I think you will agree that Neuro's looks pretty good in comparison.

My avatar is a self portrait - a sagittal MRI of me

Self portrait, i love it !

The choice of my avatar : because this photo has been taken in one of my favorite places in the world, the peninsula of Osa and its amazing Corcovado national park (Costa Rica)...
