I use the 5DIII even for sport events, where low light is dominating, like a night slalom: http://delightphoto.zenfolio.com/fis-cit_pontresina_15. I shot all images with ISO 6400. I had the 7D2 with me, I wanted to use it but the images shot with the 100-400mm Mk1 had been too soft for my taste...
But I am considering to add a 10-xx mm lens to have the 7D as an universal camera and not to carry too mich stuff with me...
It's a tough call. I have a hard time not using two bodies at events because there's really no substitute for having a up close wide camera and a long reach camera together. (However you make it happen.) Changing lenses standing up in the heat of the moment is really inconvenient and hard on the gear.
I agree totally with Rusty*** here, as I went to a dual camera bag sometime ago because I missed shots when trying to quickly change a lens and reset the camera -- and the shot disappeared in the dust while my head was down manipulating a lens change and spinning dials. Depending on the situation, 7D2 w/100-4400 and 5DM3 w/70-200 --- or sometimes, 7D2 w/70-200 and 5DM3 w/24-105 I almost never change a lens now during a project.
Absolutely! Although I have to admit that I still have trouble at many "people" events using a FF and a crop camera because even with the 70-200 on the crop it can sometimes be too long. I just depends on what I'm trying to do. This is where having two full frames is VERY NICE. Large venue sports, air shows, etc is of course where crop is king!
2 Full frames may be nice but boring, The combination of Crop & FF makes the difference: f.i with 2.0 35mm and 100mm..... It is a great combination...
