1d Mark II N vs 50d

I recently purchased a 5D classic after using a 40D for a few years. The 5D's improvement in IQ vs. the 40D is larger than I expected it to be. I'm a "value" shooter - don't have a ton of money to throw at photography. For someone in a similar situation, I believe there is no better camera value right now than a used 5D unless you absolutely need blazing speed.

Totally agree - I bought a 5Dc to go with my 50D - and ended up the the 50D as the backup body. The 5D is about 1 stop faster than the 50D with the IQ much better.

I feel the best 'budget' pro kit might be:

5Dc
17-40L
70-200 f/4 (non IS)
50 f/1.4

That would produce very impressive images easily to 16x10 or A3 which even the 'top budget' would struggle to beat in normal circumstances.
