I currently use a 60D & am looking to upgrade. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
I shoot mainly motorsport/motocross with a 70-300 L series zoom.

gonzogolf dumb remark memorialized More info | Jun 10, 2014 15:14 | #2 For motorsports your primary options are to upgrade to either 1 series, or perhaps the anticipated but unconfirmed 7DII. A 5DIII has the focusing system you would want but being full frame you give up some reach.

The 70d has pretty much the same AF system as the 7d, but you won't have to get CF cards (70d uses SD card). The 70d does 7fps. My junk

Jun 10, 2014 15:50 | #4 It's all down to your budget! A 1DX would be the first choice - but it is a LOT of money! Closer to the real world a 5D3 or a 1D4 would be excellent choices (the "loss of reach" from the larger sensors is less than you may think). If your budget is a bit more limited the the 1D3 and 7D are very good options - don't be fooled by the low pixel count on the 1D3 as they produce very good images. I can't speak for the 70D as I have never used one though they look very good on paper. Life is for living, cameras are to capture it (one day I will learn how!).
