Once you really use the 5D3 for all of what it's worth, you wouldn't want to switch back to a 5D2. Unless you have the cash to get a 5D2 as a back up.

If my plans work out properly, I will be keeping all my camera. Doesnt hurt to have a back up body, and frankly I cant have both FF and crop as my lens selections get all wonky, especially when I look at UWA lenses. Nikon D810 | 24-70/2.8G | 58/1.4G

navydoc Cream of the Crop ![]() More info | I just sold my 5D2, will sell my 1Ds2 and keep my 7D as the companion for my new 5D3. I think with my lenses, that offers me the best combination overall. The only EF-S lens I have is the 17-55 which I plan on keeping too...even though the main use of my 7D will be for long lenses. Gene - My Photo Gallery ||

I thought I wanted the MKIII too. But then I realized, it's 4 GRAND for basically the same thing I already have, and I'd still leave it in 1-point AF anyways!!!

It was $2500 that always just sat in bag and never got used. Made sense to cash it in and get something that I'd....... USE! jonathan @ tlcphoto.com
