Whilst I've decided that I definately want to upgrade from my Canon 400D I'm in a quandry as to what to upgrade to.
Part of me wants to splash out and get a 5DMKII but the sensible part is saying "Why do you need more than a 50D?"
I borrowed a colleagues' 50D yesterday and liked the feel and weight of it. The 24-70L makes my 400D front heavy, straining my wrist, whereas the 50D was nicely balanced and was easier to get a firm grip of. I've not had the oportunity to handle a 5DMKII.
Other than being full frame and having HD what are the benefits of having the 5DMKII over the 50D? Certainly a huge price difference.
As I'm about to embark on a 2 year HND course whatever I buy will be getting a heavy ammount of use, shooting all sorts of things. I ideally want a camera that can take me through the course and beyond.
