Hi,
Im looking for another 2nd camera, I'm looking at either a 2nd hand 5D or a brand new 50D. as their roughly the same price.
Opinions wanted please !

At the current selling price, a used 5D is a steal for FF. You will gain more megapixel, a true landscape and portrait camera, and of course better high-iso performance. 6D + enough lenses for now.

AlanU Cream of the Crop More info | Jan 23, 2010 11:23 | #6 You have a 1D machine gun with very good IQ. The 5D oldie will surpass the IQ and make your 24-70 into a wideangle versatile walkaround zoom. You'll be able to pop images alot more easier with a full frame. 5Dmkiv |5Dmkiii | 24LmkII | 85 mkII L | | 16-35L mkII | 24-70 f/2.8L mkii| 70-200 f/2.8 ISL mkII| 600EX-RT x2 | 580 EX II x2 | Einstein's
