I'd buy a lens.
I'd sell the 5dII and buy a 6D with 24-105 kit.
Thanks for the input.
We don't have a Costco in New Orleans (yet, they're finally building one here, 1st in LA, but not ready to open yet)...so, that's not an option for now.
What size images do ya'll upload for just regular prints (4x6)? What size jpg or tiff?
Do these places usually by default try to do color correction? I"ve already done all the post processing I want on my images, I don't want any other processing on color....

Get the 6D + 24-105mm L f/4 kit.
As a part of the kit, the 24-105 L is probably the best bargain Canon gives you in its entire lineup of L lenses.
While you say the budget is very tight but everything is relative. The difference in pricing (kit lens Vs. the 50mm f/1.4) is likely to be in the range of $ 200 or less so I'd say, go for the kit lens.
The Japanese Yen has fallen considerably in value in recent months. Japanese exports should therefore be much cheaper now for buyers, so why are Canon prices remaining so high? I'd love a new Canon 5D mk III but current MAP limitations are keeping prices high and stopping me from buying.
The falling yen does not benefit all Japanese companies equally. In Canon's case, every dollar move in dollar/yen costs Canon $80 million dollars in earnings because of their reliance on imported parts. For example, in the last week, the dollar/yen went from about 101.87 on Monday May 13th to 103.16 on Friday. That move costs Canon about 103.2 million dollars in earnings. Canon's stock price reflects the effects of quantitative easing by the BOJ (Bank of Japan), as it is down over 5% for the year in a Japanese market that is up over 41% for the year. Canon can mitigate the effects of dollar/yen moves by hedging strategies, e.g. stock piling on imported parts when the value of the yen is higher on the currency markets, but that can be tricky if they buy too many parts that they cannot use. Similarly, airline companies trade oil futures to mitigate their fuel costs, i.e. buying when prices are low.
Pure Japanese exporters benefit the most, i.e. companies with the least amount of reliance on imported parts and capex spending.
dont know where ur getting ur info but its completely wrong dude...

Reading previous threads there seems to be a reluctance to use screen protectors. I find that my rear LCD screen has smudges on it - in the upper left corner where my nose presses against the screen. And occasionally I find a small scratch on the LCD (okay, the screen protector on the LCD screen).
There are 2 types of screen protectors - film and glass. The film is available for the 1DX while the glass is not (at least not at B&H).
Any other recommendations?
18 MP. 21 MP. 24 MP. Even 15 MP. Frankly, I don't especially care. If it does a full stop or more better in terms of high ISO noise performance for RAW images vs. the 7D, a 7DII will be interesting to me. If not, no interest.
I think Canon dilutes thier lineup with too many of the same cameras. Why would a consumer buy this vs the T4i for the same price? What's different about this and the T4i (maybe I missed that)?You'd be surprised with how many people make a buying decision based on size alone. I'm thinking that since Canon did not make such an impact on the market, with their mirror less cameras, they might be trying something different ... who knows, it might click.
You know, this goes against the flow here but I'm more interested in this camera than the eos M.
Just to clarify, I own the 5DII, 5DIII and up till recently the 7D. I also own a Lumix LX3 as a pocket camera. Professional gigs aside, I've stopped using the LX3 for social and personal events in favour of my 5DIII with the 40mm pancake. I would be interested in making this setup even more compact with a smaller body. It interests me more than the eos M and I love the quality and size of the pancake.
I guess I won't know how small this is till I feel it in my hands but if it does come to fruition and it's to my liking, I might wait till the price cools and be up for it?
