5d ii or another 7d???

ummm sorry but what "glass" should i need, apart from some very expensive primes, i have most of what i need

if you've got all the glass you need, then you're all set. but you're looking at buying a new body, and the only advantage i can see that you'll get is better ISO performance. Most of your glass is moderate speed, and with some fast primes (and you only need two), then you'll get two stops better with your existing camera.

does anyone every have all the glass you need?

Have posted this in the OOF section as most troll here for bits and i want honest feed back as to what to do

And I moved to, cause the OOF forum is for NON photographic related topics.

F2.8 is moderate speed??

this is like Canon moving the bar constatntly on what is a prosumer camera body...

My latest glass is the 16-35L mark II.....I just cannot get it off my 5D mark I. The 24-70L 2.8, 70-200L 2.8 is, 70-200L f/4 and the 85 1.8 just don't get much of a look in these days. It is small, light, a 2.8 and sharp. My second body is a 40D, but it doesn't get much of a look in above the 5D except for outdoor sports type environs.

Probably old news for most here.

You say you want to do more landscapes, My vote is the 5D mkll due to its full frame sensor your lenses become what they say and you get the wides't possible shots with what you got. Also your primes are what they say they are too.

Or am i wrong and the 7D has a full frame sensor. If not its good for your big zoomlenses cause you get that extra 1.6x magnification.

Never be afraid to start new threads.

As for waiting till after Christmas to buy a new camera, ask your self if the "new" model will help you take better pictures of the things you could be photographing today.

Next Christmas ( 2011 ), your new camera will be obsolete again but still capable of taking excellent photos.

Yes I understand Andrew but I don't want to buy a new camera and find out it's obsolete in 4 months and the new camera has improved a lot and taking better pictures

Only you can take better photos, not the camera. There will be nothing new on the next model that will help you make better images. Just more fluff to make all of the camera enthusiasts think they need to upgrade. Buy now and never look back.
