1000D upgrade to 7D - can 1000D cope with new great glass?

I have used my 50mm1.2 on a 400d body, and thought that i was experiencing some of the focus issues i had read that the 50mm had, but when i put it on the 5d it was a totally different story; it worked beautifully. basically my problem was that it wouldn't be as sharp as i would have like or i would think i 'had' a certain shot only to discover the focus was way out.

the comment regarding never wanting to use your old body is true though. you wont go back.

You can also keep your 1000D as a 2nd body so you can switch lenses fast for different focal lengths!

Besides, that, It would be quirky to whip out your 1000D with the new 70-200 mkII on it amongst a bunch of gear junkies. lol, such a great contrast of a $100 camera with a $3000 lens.

I did the precise same thing among a few at a local tourist spot. I pulled out my old EOS 5 film camera from back in the day which had my old 28-135mm lens on it and heard a few condescending giggles after they eyeballed my gear compared with their own (as i had a bit of stuff with me including mydigital magamonster 1D in my backpack that they werent aware of because it is a lowerpro backpack and alot fits in snugly and i had the film camera on a hip bag). Next thing i did was take off the 28-135mm and pulled out my 70-200mm L series lens off my 5D MKII camera, threw the extender on her and put it on the EOS 5 and then heard a couple of surprised sounding comments hehehe. I then proceeded to put the film camera away and pulled out my 1D which had the 24-105mm L series lens on it at which i heard not a thing hehehe I t was quite amusing watching them pull their feet out of their mouth :P

A friend was asked, "What crappy old camera is that?" by someone carrying something along the lines of a 500D. Clearly feeling superior with his dSLR. My friend was carrying a M9. Rofl. Oh the ignorance.

.... It's like saying that the 5DM2 will produce better photos than the 7D just because it's a higher range camera. ....

Higher range sensor, lower range everything else.
