Looking for a backup for 5dii

[Muss]

Im in the market for a back up body as im currently shooting alot of different jobs. (Hair and beauty - Cars - Product - Outdoor lifestyle - adverts) and on the majoriy of these shoots i need to swap lenses and/or take video for clients.

Its becoming abit of a nuisance chopping and changing on my 5dmkii so was looking at the new range of mid spec Canon bodies.

Can anyone enlighten me what they recommend in the region of upto £550? I was personally impressed by the Canon 760d but am put off by the battery prices (£35-60!?) The Wifi option really appeals to me as it can mean on the spot transfer to my laptop or phone for quick edits etc.

Options!

Agree with Stu another 5D Mark II would be ideal or a cheap Canon 1Ds Mark II maybe? Still got decent pixel count and can produce the goods or something that shoots faster a Canon 1D Mark III...

I considered a used 5dii but i think id like to get something with a newer sensor and like i mentioned the wifi on alot of the recent models is appealing for my line of work.
Dont get me wrong... i have a couple of 5dii's on my radar at the moment and il be pushed (or not quick enough) to get a decent body under £550.

70d. All genuine batteries are expensive. Just buy a duracell or ex pro.
