Nice post Mihai. I agree that having two functional cameras rather than keeping one in the bag as a backup is a good idea.
The importance of having two cameras was brought home to me on saturday though, when the battery grip for my 5D started making the camera do very strange things indeed, rendering it almost unusable (I couldn't go back to using it without the grip as I'd left the battery door at home and it won't switch on without it).
I just bought the Canon 24mm 1.4 for use at weddings, very expensive but initial tests already make me think it's going to be an amazing lens. I think I will get rid of my 24-105L as it's just not fast enough for my tastes.
