For any reason, if you need to start all over again with “no limit” on budget but you has to choose only one body and one lens then what it will be?
One lens again? If I would ever think about one lens I would get PS camera...
Happy with my current camera a 7D
would find it difficult to use just one lens but if I had to keep one it would be the 100L macro
If I had unlimited funds would buy the 400 2.8 but would still keep the 100 macro
Not an easy question to come up with a simple answer. Every side has its pros and cons I would say. Leica has great reliable things, great lenses, but what to do with a M9 if I need 400 mm focal length? Nikon is currently leading (in my opinion at least) in the full frame field especially with the D800, but I would miss some lenses I really like in Canon land (like the 135/2, some other fast lenses and tilt-shift lenses). Regarding all this, it would be a tough choice right now to vest in a new camera system from the beginning. Since in my experience glass is more important than camera, I would likely stick with Canon and go with a new 5D III (but since I currently already have two 5D II cameras, this is out of question for me to upgrade to the 5D III since I don't see the benefit here for me).
Tough question! It implies we are going to be restricted to one body and lens for all our photo usage. For me, that means a versatile lens, not something super specialized like long telephoto (even a 70-200 or 100 would be too long for most of my shooting), or odd UWA. I need something int he middle range.
The body makes me lean toward the highest IQ and rez in a practical package, not a medium format.
If I stayed with Canon, that would probably mean a 5D3 (although I love 1D bodies! Just wish the 1DX had 24MP or more.) and the new 24-70L II (the 28-300L is amazing, and I'd consider that too -- I have that lens already, but 24mm is very useful).
I don't think anyone can argue that today Nikon has the best imaging with the D800E, so I'd be drawn that way if I really had to start over. The fly in the ointment is the lens selection and features. Offhand, I'd say coupled with a Zeiss lens, but I can't think of a single prime that would be versatile enough for me.
Since I'm most familiar with Canon operation, I'd go 5D3 with grip, 24-70L II.
Now, if we could just talk Canon into a 30 MP 1DX Mark II with 20-80/3.5 L IS, I'd be set!
I am really happy with my 200 1.8L and 5DII, but if pressed I suppose it would be 1DX and 50L. I wouldn't buy a 1DX however since it is 7K and I am not getting rentals on it like I do my lenses.
If I would ever think about one lens I would get PS camera...
