Hello everyone, I currently have a 7D and really like it. I use it mainly for wildlife, sports and other general photography. Here in the Middle East we have a thriving second hand market and a 5D mkII has just come on for about the same price as a new 7d. I have for some time thought about getting a 2nd body as when I am shooting cricket I regularly swap between my 100-400 and my 24-105 due to differing focal distances for the the wicket vs outfield shots. I have recently also been shooting at some indoor sports such as indoor cricket and basketball and wondered if the 5D would perform better in the challenging light? I have good glass including the above and a 70-200 f2.8L so I dont think I am limited by my lenses and really am not sure if I am limited by my camera. My two thoughts so far are1. The 5D would perform better so I could use faster shutters in limited light (I dont know if this is true)2. Just get another 7D as it performs reasonably well, would save me changing lenses and I am already extremelly familiar with the layout. Forgot to say - The reason I am even looking at this is that although the 7D is good, noise does appear at ISO 1600 so I try to avoid that wherever possible. Am I being silly to even think about this and should I just save for a 5D MKiii or even look for a 1D Mk IV second hand? So many choices :-(Any help appreciated.
