And the main questions should be, what do you shoot? Does video matter? Do you care more for AF speed and accuracy or is saving $3000 important? I don't understand why he just doesn't get another 5d, i don't see a point in upgrading because of dust I suck at Photoshop.

The people that I shoot are mostly under 5 years old, and man, are they fast or what? My wife did a surprisingly good job following the with the 5D. I did try it and just could not get it (I sucked). A lot of misfocus or not focus at all. where are you located? I suck at Photoshop.

Assuming price is not an issue (since it was one of the options), wouldnt you just go for the better camera?

(actually for me, the wife will be using the 5D). I am quite happy with the 5D except for the dust problem. Which camera would you recommend from all of the above? I am a pixel peeper and very picky in term of Image quality. Do not really care for megapixels but care a lot in term of nice color, noise, etc (IQ).
