I have bought 2 5D2\'s, but I can\'t afford to take a 1% chance that I will have to stop working altogether at a wedding. As a result, I will almost certainly have to buy a 450D and possibly a third 5D2, although at that rate of expenditure just to get some security that you can complete the job, the D700 is looking all the more attractive.
What Canon wants you to do, you professional you, is to buy a 1-Series camera.
Well, in that case Canon is going to have to make them smaller and lighter (like Nikon does in the D700) because I didn\'t like having a 1Ds3 and a 5D around my neck for 14 hours, let alone 2 1Ds3\'s. It\'s not unprofessional to consider the weight of your gear.
