Thanks for the advice, I'm still no further forwards in deciding what to do but I guess I need to bite the bullet sometime! I think I am "likely" to buy the 5D, not time to think about which kit lens to buy with it, and whether to have a reshuffle. I am very happy with both the 17-40 L and...

They need to upgrade the 5D for sure - is it January when Canon release new models?

It has an old autofocus system compared to the newer range of Canon bodies. I think essentially the AF will be the same as on my 20D which does not feel like much of an upgrade for £2,000. The AF is one of the only things that bugged me about my 20D, that and the tiny screen size! Then over and...

I have just come into some money from an insurance claim a few years ago and now need to follow up on a promise that if I won I would spend it on a new camera. I've had my heart set on a 5D MKII for a couple of years but ever the pessimist I'm thinking there will probably be a replacement a...

richpips - thanks again for your input and good luck with your successful career in photography! To anyone else reading, please do not to be put off by comments in this thread. I have been a budding amateur photographer for years and would love the opportunity to shoot a wedding (although not...

Firstly - thanks for the offers of assistance, mart77 your pics look great! I have had a couple of messages from other people too so would like to take a look at sample pics over the next couple of days. If it makes sense for the photographers then perhaps the responsibility could be shared by...

I have been asked to photograph my brothers wedding next May but I will also be acting as best man and don't really think it is a sensible thing to do both. My brother does not have money to pay a pro photographer so I wondered if anyone would like to use his wedding as a way of building...

not sure how relevant it would be across lenses unless you mean at a specific focal range? I have looked on dpreview in the past for sample images from lenses or bodies but there may be better sources

Is the software on camera or is it a post-process activity?

Firstly thanks for the responses :) @HoppyUK - I hadn't really considered the 100-400L because I thought it was a bit more expensive than it actually is. Assuming I could get reasonable money for my Sigma then a 5D MKII and the longer Canon may be the right way to go :) @Paul Philpot - I'm not...

I have a 20D at the moment and am looking forward to seeing what the 17-40 brings on the wide side with a full frame sensor... but on the filp side I'm not going to be too pleased to be losing the length on the 300mm end of my sigma when compared to the cropped sensor of the 20D. The new 7D...

I'm going to be buying a 5D Mk II sometime this year, probably in October, and I'm seeking advice on how best to spend my hard earned cash on glass for the full frame body. The 24-105L kit lens would seem to make sense given my current gap in the 40 - 100 range, and the good reviews it seems...
