Jerry,
One of my all-time favorite cameras was the 1D2N. Really unique IQ from that camera. I actually really loved my 7D, but I never could get along with it in terms of IQ. The IQ was there. I've seen it. I just couldn't really get used to the workflow involved with making the 7D work with my shooting style (that probably sounds stupid, but I swear, we just couldn't get along).
If you don't need the AF of the 5D3, I'd strongly consider the 6D (maybe get rid of the 1D2N and get a 6D and use the 7D as a long-reach backup. ...Show more →
Both bodies were picked up last year very reasonably priced, they scratched two itches that had persisted for years. I was and still am a dedicated 40D shooter, there are old computers to deal with, all 6yrs plus, and the smaller MPs are easier to PP at the moment.
With the 7D PP is slowed a lot, although with the pace I've learned as of late to manage the 'noise' much better, Tony/ImageMaster here on FM turned me on to a product called 'Neat Image', it's got a kind of clunky interface but it's noise functionality is top drawer.
The 1DMk2 gives me AF at f8 and with my smallish budget, a 2x III and 300 f4L IS, I've got my action; surfing, car racing, setup, and that's fine for now...our resident PijunMaster was my source
Either the 5D3 or 6D will work, what ever FF body I do get will mostly shoot macro, flowers/gardens and city/landscapes...choosing a 6D would net me more glass and that's quite attractive. I almost broke my 2014 promise, the 6D is under $1300 as a refurb, but I'm gonna wait, see what Canon brings to the table this year.
I'm just recently shooting again after a long medical vacation . That will increase, even more in a few week's. Back in my wheels now, but very weak, give me a month or so and my stamina will be better, dizziness will be gone and perhaps I'll get out from my backyard...it's been awhile since I was at the beach, the sun feels quite nice
