Im still really torn between the two! i would love to have the 5d, but the money factor is a big thing for me, considering i am sixteen and don’t have a steady income. lol
I love the image of the 5d, do you think its worth it to keep saving up?
or should i go for the 7d?
what three cheapish lenses would you recommend?
i was thinking
50mm 1.8 (possibly 1.4)
Tamron 28-75
and maybe the canon 70-200l 4?
what do you think?

Well, I was torn between the two bodies but i just went on the Canon site and a update 2.0.3 will be coming out for the 5d. I will be picking up my 5d mk11 in the morrows. That is also just one of the many pro updates that they will be including in that version update.

good glass is very important. the thing with the 7d and 5d is build quality. robust and pro, what the t2i lacks

Thank you Phillip for leading the way to information and excellence. Based on all the knowledge you provided I bought the 7D and a cheep 50mm cannon lens (90. usd) that’s it I was hooked – gave the lens away and spent a fortune on L glass and Cam support from RedRock. I went cheep on a WA lens(because the L glass and Redrock broke my bank) and for a Wide lens I went with Sigma EX 10 – 20. (luv It) I also have a Cannon 24mm prime and it is smashing even in small spaces. My obscured point is HOW WIDE do people need to get. I’ve been shooting film and video for 30 years and these lenses even with the 1.6 mag are fantastically wide. This technology and this camera are the greatest thing to hit indie film making since the Amiga Toaster and Stedycam JR. I am glad I spent the money on Glass and Support though because I’m already seeing things change an get cheaper with the T2 ( a great little emergency back up) and next the Scarlet – The glass and support will transcend when the 7D becomes the next ebay special (not any time soon.

SAVE YOUR ASS – BUY GOOD GLASS
