Well, didn't think that I would be reaching this point so soon.... I am already thinking about an upgrade soon.
Basically, I bought my 40D back June, and to start off with i was perfectly happy with my results (these same results are the ones that i now look back and laugh at). Also started off with a Canon 70-300 IS, and whilst a good lens, i soon realized that this wasn't meeting my needs, in terms of Aperture and focus speed. This led me to upgrade to a Canon 70-200 2.8.
The lens itself is a cracking lens, however I feel that my 40D is now letting me down. I honestly didn't think i would almost outgrown it so quick. Focusing, High ISO performance are my main reasons for outgrowing it. However, I need to start thinking about the upgrade. So far I have narrowed it down to: A new 7D or a second hand 1D MKIII.
Seems odd comparing these two, I would really love a 1DMIII after seeing some of the results on this forum, and yet I also feel the 7D would be a good (and probably) slightly cheaper option. I really am stuck as to what to do, and it doesn't help that I don't have a job at the moment, so it makes it even harder to think about an upgrade!
I am looking for some advice on anyone who has made a similar upgrade, and mainly did you think it was worth it. Bear in mind i mainly do sports, and moving into other sports, and getting a bit more paid work.
Cheers
