Thanks Dan.
The 24"x36" print is just a goal at this time. Something to shoot for. If I did ever get to the skill level in PP to print this big, I wanted to have the hardware to support that possibility. The majority of prints would be smaller.
Allocating a larger percentage of my available dollars into high quality lenses is a point well taken.
A thought I had was to go with the 5D2 with the kit 24-105 lens now, acquire one or two nice high quality lenses in the next few years, and then in a couple years upgrade the body when they get that pesky DR issue resolved that I've been reading so much about lately. Just a thought....Show more →
Great thought/reasoning, get the 5D2. Waiting a bit is smart, the increased DR of the 6D; shadow recover, less noise, is IMHO, just the start of Canon getting back to level ground with Sony's Exmor sensor gains, the next gen of bodies will give us a better clue to there direction...give them a year or two; perhaps the next xxD or the 7D upgrade will give us a peek into their plans.
Starting off with the kit you mention is IMO a great move. Buy more glass, but be warned 'L' glass spoils you, addictive it is; I've a few of the f4 versions and am very spoiled.
I'll go with the 6D, 24-105 kit next year, but it's only because of the 6D's newer features that may help with some of my disability issues. No doubt the 5D2 will be a great tool for you, enjoy whatever you get...
