50D -1DMk111 or 5D Pros Cons?

[Chaz Photos]

Can you tell me any Pros and Cons with the above?
I know the odd one out might be the 5D.
I was thinking of getting the 50D but should I spend out for the 1d?
I there is a S/h one going..

three very different cameras, what's the main purpose?

A wide range I guess but I have just got into Widlife I also love Landscapes

CT is pretty good at wildlife photography and he swears by his 50D, I think Kaz10 uses one as well, both produce some cracking images.

Would be my choice of the three if I was to switch to Canon

50D for the wildlife but the 5D for the landscapes. I suppose the obvious compromise is the MkIII

thats helped no end.

he is right though, personally i dont get on with grips, so a 1 series isnt my thang, im wanting a 5dmk2 to use alongside my 40D, 5D for the landscapes, would basically live life with a 17-40 f4L on it, and the 40D for my aviation photography as the 1.6x crop gives me the perfect length on the 70-300 IS.\

If i could only ever have 1, id probably get the 40D/50D, its much cheaper to get a crop body wide, then get full frame telephoto.

5D isn't really in it for wildlife. 50D is great if you need a lot of reach on a budget, but if you can afford a 1D3 and a big prime, that is surely the ultimate weapon.

There's a good one going in the For Sale section ATM: http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=146671

Consider a 1d mark II against 50D for sports and dynamics. Its in a different league for the same price
