Bobo- I don't think I ever said this to you out loud but congrats on the 5DIII
It's nice to see someone take the time to wear out a Rebel. I think most Rebels get 5k clicks because:
1> it gets "upgraded" to a different camera
2> the owner just takes 50 photos a year (and all of them are of their cat :angry
3> the owner loses interest in photography

The T2i is a great camera. I think all the Rebels are... depending on your needs of course.
Thanks for all the dedication and work you put into this thread. The 5DIII crowd is lucky to get you

My T2 is nicely "weathered" too. The rubber grip is worn out is several areas even becoming unglued but it keeps on clicking too. Is going to end as backup once the 7D gets here. I gave my XS to me 10 year old and he is already very interested in photography. The XS is also showing the typical scuffs and marks of a heavily used camera...but it keeps on clicking too.

The 550D will always be and still is my first love

Thanks Matthew.

Compared to the 550D, the 5D3 is a heavy beast and first 2 days I was just not used to that. Now it is better. Still reading the manual and trying to understand its complexity. Tomorrow will be the first real test it gets.

Still somewhat worried about losing the crop factor and the possible detrimental effects that might have on the bird shots. FOV of 480 vs 300 or 420 with a 1.4. Hope the FF decision will not mean new longer (heavier) lens.

hahaha CONGRATS ON THE MKIII BOBO!! Welcome to the to FF.. you will need a new pair of arms with that. hahahaha.. same thoughts i had myself when paring my mkII with the brick.. my god it weighs a ton.. im still not used to it specially when im in for 8hrs covering events. The 550d is such a feather still use it all the time. it helps me not change lenses when needed.. Enjoy the mkIII

Congrats Bobo -- should be a great ride for you!

Regarding the weight thingy, yeah, Rebels are key when you want to run light, but I don't find the weight of heavy rigs to be a problem. I've spent two full weekends with the 1D over my shoulder mounted to the 70-200 f/2.8L. I can certainly feel how big and heavy it is, but with my strap (BlackRapid), I've really felt no discomfort. That includes two solid days of up/down sports shooting, and a day of walking around with it. The weight just doesn't bother me.

I really like the ergonomics of the bigger 1D though. Having access to focus points on the stick, the wheel, the built-in grip, etc. The size provides more than just weight.

Left my house this morning in a haze of fog and thought...great...anot​her crappy overcast day. Started driving to work and passed a turnout looking down on the Valley below. Well, since it's Friday, thought I would hang a U-turn up ahead and get a some shots.
