I’ve been looking through,and while it’s all very interesting,I’m not seeing what I’m looking for. I will keep looking,I really like your stuff….but may I ask you a question? I’ve had my 7D sometime,and I’d been reading about the ” fabulous ” 5D Mk 4
but I can’t spend $3500 on one right now….so I bought a 5D from a pro,who had been using it for a backup…it has less than 1000 clicks on it,like new. I bought it with lenses,filters,batteries,grip,bag etc all for $350….so not a bad deal…the question is,should I use one or the other? Both? Or sell one keep the other? Your reply is eagerly anticipated…. Warmly. John purcell
Hi John,
So to the EOS 7D vs 5D question. They are different beasts, and if we’re talking an EOS 5D original not the EOS 5D Mark II then I might be more inclined to go with the EOS 7D. Any lenses it came with will fit your EOS 7D after all.
I’d give the EOS 5D a run though, you might like the bigger brighter viewfinder, it’s quite a bit different to the 7D. In terms of focus then the centre point of the 5D is the one to use, the others are more assist points that ideal for a main focus point.
At the end of the day, the decision is yours; and will depend on what you shoot. Without knowing this I can’t suggest much more.
