I'm looking to add a second body, what should I get? I currently have a 7D, primarily I shoot sports but I also do automotive, landscape, and portraits.
I'm thinking of adding a second 7D, or getting a 1D mkiii.
Help me out.

Really just need a second body so I can run two different lenses. I would love to buy a 5d mkiii or a 1d mkiv but they are both out the budget right now Canon 1D Mark IV / Canon 7D gripped / Canon 10-22mm / Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 / Canon 24-70mm f2.8L / Canon 70-200mm f2.8L / Canon 50mm f1.4 / AB800 (x3) / 430 EXii (x2) / Vivitar 285HV / PocketWizard Plus III(x5)

Only reason to not go that way would be if you don't want to deal with running 2 different bodies at the same time and having buttons and layout be different, or the extra cost for a 6d. May not be a big deal in either case, but something to think about. My junk
