I have 50D and need to upgrade to full frame. I have 2 option:
- Sell 50D + cash to get 1Ds MII.
- Keep 50D and get 5Dc.
Which is better?

Sell 50d. Use the funds from that+what you would've spent on a 5d classic, and buy a 5dII.

OP, there goes option 3.

option 4: get better lenses that suit your needs.

you gotta give more details on your situation and shooting habits to get a more thought of and useful anwers and suggestions.
