Hey guys,
I've been saving my pennies to buy a 5d mk2.
The camera will be used primarly for shooting video of skateboarding for use in adds, dvds etc.
I've been told the 7d is a better camera for this purpose (Sports in general) due to having better focusing.
I understand the different frame rates, and understand that the 5dmk2 has a firmware upgrade coming (When is that?)
The main issue is i need the widest possible fisheye lense. I understand that i can really only get the effect i'm after with full frame, which has to be the 5d.
Please watch this video to understand how wide/the effect i'm after -

So from what i can understand, the 7D is a better camera for filming sport (Due to focusing), but i really need the widest possible fisheye lens, so i may have to go with the 5D for full frame to get the effect i'm after.
What are your thoughts and opinions?
Thought i'd ask the experts!
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
