If you can live with 1 camera the funds should be pretty close to pick one up. I think theres a new listing on FM for a MKII right now. Sony A7R3 & A7R4

In fact, the moment I got paid for my 20D, I was going for it. however I just saw a deal where I could get a 1DMkII with <1k actuations (yes, that's just 1k!) for about $2000. Well, needless to say, I'm interested. I'm curious, though....what might I not like about the 1DMkII? What might be better about the 30D? I like the idea of making my lenses a tad wider. I like the idea of super intelligent predictive AF. I like that my weather sealed lenses would actually be weather sealed now. I also like that the 1DMkII could potentially last twice as long as the 30D (shutter). What about IQ, though? How much better would the dynamic range and tones be? I guess I want someone to make me believe I need a 1DMkII.  Whaddaya say, guys?

See what you get for half-steppin' and lolly gaggin' over here asking us silly questions and wanting to know our opinions! You can NEVER pass up a good deal like that again, Ronald. That's a damn shame. Dammit. I would've been all over that. Oh well. Enjoy your 30D. ~Spaceships Don't Come Equipped With Rear View Mirrors~

I posted, pm'ed, and e-mailed basically saying "I'LL TAKE IT!!!" I told him I could pay him immediately, etc. Just too late. He said he wouldn't have sold to me anyway, because he wanted to keep it in Cali. Oh well..my 30D shipped out today, hopefully. Mac users swear by their computers. PC users swear at theirs.

I'm sure another opportunity will present itself. I'm willing to bet before Summer's end you'll have a 1D. ~Spaceships Don't Come Equipped With Rear View Mirrors~
