i have had a similar question before but things have changed so here goes:
My scenario is as follows: broken 40d i cant use, using my old 350d for the moment with plans to get a new camera, but finding the 350d extremely frustrating in terms of quality etc... bascially losing my passion knowing my images are smaller and lower quality than the ones i was taking on my other body, and therefor i find myself taking much less photos.
the 40d i wasnt 100% satisfied with either, mainly in terms of noise levels as i do alot of low light photoghraphy..
im currently using a standard 70-300mm canon telephoto and my two sigmas, f2.8 24-70mm and f2.8 120-300mm lenses.
i would love a 5d mkII i suppose... but would love a mkIII even better depending on release and spec... and i dont want to be annoyed if i buy a mkII and the mkIII is released with better specs and my mkII's value is less, but i also understand there could be upto a years wait for the mkIII...
im not financially ready to buy a new body yet anyway, but i could perhaps at a push, muster the money up sooner if i decided to got for a current model - as i cenrtainly dont think i can wait much more than a couple of months for a new camera.
my other option is to perhaps go for a 7d or 60d in the meantime as it would be a great second camera anyhow, would mean i could wait for the mkIII comfortably and i think i will be in a much better financial situation to buy the mkIII in a years time anyhow.
I'm also excited about being able to use my slr for video also, so there are advantages to both a FF and crop sensor for video also...
but are the noise levels in teh 7d or 60d any better for low light than my 40d was? if not then thats another reason why i should perhaps go for a 5dmkII and just be happy with it, afterall its a great camera regardless of the MkIII...
