Hello,

I am getting ready to purchase some new equipment and i cant quite make up my mind. So i figured i would ask the community here.

Currently I have a Several Canon body's and many lens but i am in the need to purchase some thing new or get a additional Body witch could also help and i am stuck on deciding.

My current 1dx is quite beat up and is starting to age i put quite a bit of abuse on my bodies trekking through Everglades and Plus siting out in direct sunlight puts a hurting on your bodies. Way over rated heat by canon but they still keep kicking.

A New EOS-1DX or a New EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM II
To help give you a better a idea my equipment list is below pulled it from the Canon CPS site.

Plus several other Extenders and and my older bodies 2x EOS 1D Mark III and 1x EOS 1D Mark IV. and some off brand lens and such but no need to go in to that.,

Ok thank you
 
Eh its impossible to really say - in one case you're replacing something like for like and in the other getting an upgrade, but at you're already using high end glass its a marginal rather than night and day upgrade.

I think this is one call you're going to have to make on your own.
