I think I have a plan which I will stick to but there's no harm in listening to others who know far more than what I do so,

In the cupboard:

40D & grip
5D Mk1 & grip
1D MkII

future arrival:

1Ds

The plan is to keep the 1D bodies and say cheerio to the 40D & 5D.
Right now the 1D MkII is days old to me so I'm somewhere on a learning curve and liking it a lot.

Of the other two the 5D is my favourite which suggests I should let the 40D go. I hope that the FF 1Ds will completely replace the 5D in my affections in the future.

OTOH should I consider keeping the 40D so that I've then got FF, 1.3 x sensor and 1.6 x sensor bodies.

On principle I am not keeping four bodies. On matters more practical there is cashflow to be considered.

All thoughts & suggestions gratefully accepted.

You haven't mentioned what type of photography you're into.

If it's wildlife or sports, I would go for a 7D

If it's portrait or landscape, I would suggest a 5D mark II
