I have been toying with the idea of perhaps upgrading from my EOS 7D to the EOS 5D Mklll, and would be interested to hear from any member(s) here, that has done this.
Obviously, its a significant step financially, but taking that out of the equation, was the upgrade worthwhile in terms of what it gave you in terms of performance, apart from the larger sensor.
I'm referring to things like the 61 point AF system, later generation processor, noise performance, and higher ISO etc.
I've only had my 7D for less than a couple of years, having upgraded from a 30D, and it is without doubt, an excellent camera, and pleasure to use.
So why would I be thinking about changing it. Well, having decided to give up boating as a hobby, I have handed my boat (a 27' Motor Cruiser) to a Yacht Broker to be sold. If and when its sells, it will produce enough funds to buy quite a few 5Ds
So, to cheer me up, after parting with my boat, which was 'the other love and woman in my life' , I thought I might treat myself to a new camera, and the 5D Mklll would seem to be a good choice.
I should add, that I wouldn't consider a 1D, as I wouldn't want to be carting it around with me. The 7D with the 24-105 L, is heavy enough, and the 5D is 130g heavier, but manageable.
Also being no more than a enthusiastic amateur, a 1D would be a significant overkill for my use.
Oh yes, all of my lenses, except my 10-20 wide angle, are suitable for Full Frame.
