If you don\'t need the 5D3 for action and/or high ISO, the \"upgrade\" may feel like a dud. Outside those two areas, the 5D2 is 99% what the 5D3 is.
I borrowed one from CPS and came to that conclusion for my shooting situations. All my action work is on crop bodies (1D4, 7D) and that\'s how I like it. My 5D2 does underwater and non or slow-moving terrestrial subjects.

My take: for MY shooting, the worthwhile upgrade to FF would be the 1DX, not th 5D3.
Either way: I don\'t think crucifying the OP for coming to a different conclusion than most people is the thing to do. If you disagree, then crucify me too... ...
