Going through my camera bags, I have had serious thoughts lately on selling on some of my gear that rarely gets used in favour of gear that would get used.
My current body set up is 1D3, 5D2 and 600D.
The 5D2 and 600D are definate keepers and ideal for what I need from them.
Which leaves the 1D3. I love the feel of it and it sounds and handles great but I only use it for Wildlife such as birds in flight now and again.
With my 300 f4 + 1.4 attached I still need to crop heavily at times. The images are OK (ish)
Having met some wildlife togs and seeing some amazing images here and on other forums using and taken with the 7D, would it be a wise move ditching the 1D3 in favour of the cropped sensor, slightly less fps and higher pixel count of the 7D meaning that I could hopefully crop tighter and still get a good image like I can with the 5D2?
Also on my list to go is my 70-200 f4L non is and Tamron 90mm Macro. Both spend all their time boxed and never see daylight.
Any views would be welcome
