EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Potential upgrade from 7D
« on: January 20, 2013, 03:36:56 AM »
Last week I pulled the trigger on upgrading to a 5Dmk3. I sold my first DSLR (EOS 450).
My 7D (not back-up, but camera for different purposes) is excellent for daylight, BIF, sports and wildlife, but I wanted FF IQ for landscapes and a bit more low light capability.
My 70-200f4 IS USM suites me fine on both camera's. For BIF I will stick to the 7D with converter (and cropfactor), however I am discovering the AF system on the 5Dmk3. AI servo case 6 is very tempting.
I bought the 16-35 to cover the wide angle for the 5Dmk3 (landscapes).
As I cannot make up my mind (i.e. find enough cash) on a Canon / Tamron 24-70/105 f2.8 / f4, I just upgraded my 50mm 1.8 to a 1.4. I will stick to that for a couple of months.
I intend to keep my 15-85 because while travelling on familytrips abroad (in summer) I want to take just one camera. The big pack will be the 7D with 10-22, 15-85 and 70-200 and the small pack is the 7D with just the 15-85.
The 5Dmk3 will only travel on dedicated phototrips. (I'll be more focused on my gear instead of my family.)
It all sums up to: I love my new 5Dmk3 and 16-35, but I too refuse to part with my 7D and 15-85.
I just wait for the Canon 24-70 2.8 to drop in price or to get IS and use my 50mm 1.4 and save some more money while waiting.
