It comes down to what feels good to you (uh... camera-wise), and your eye. I have a Nikon D200, it has never let me down. Until I can afford a Phase 1 or medium format Hasselblad, I'm going to pimp it until it falls apart. When I need additional lenses, I roll into Calumet Photo, try them out and rent. I find that many people spend a chunk on expensive digitals and haven't a clue about lighting. If you know what you're doing, any respectable camera will get the job done.

re: full frame vs crop.
I wouldn't go anything less then full-frame due to already owning a bunch of primes and also love shooting narrow DOF. Plus the viewfinder really opens up.
Though if your starting from scratch, and only needing this for client work, then it's much of a muchness as both canon & nikon seem to be gearing their new tech/lenses to the cropped format.
And I guess thats the thing, it's more about tech these days --- different film sizes would drastically change the quality of the photo, and the amount of DOF you had to play with.

Really? Damn! Thanks for putting things in perspective v3! Nice to see end-result difference photos finally!
btw, I love your chairs! Are they ikea? :)

What I was saying on the previous page has been beautifully demonstrated above by version3, I love the 16-35mm L, 17-40mm L and 24-70mm L and use them a lot. The thing is they are not wide enough on a crop body such as the 7D. If you were shooting with the 7D then the EFS 10-22mm would be better for interiors etc.
I also love the 50mm f1.2 but its a bit long for a walk around on a crop body, a 35mm would be handier.
When I had my 70-200 on my 30D at gigs, I found I had to back up to far to get all the action I wanted on stage, now its on my 5D is brilliant.

here's one for the people obsessed with sensor size.
worth a read.- that's a decent article. that guy worries about cameras too much for a guy that takes shitty picturesbigtrick
- but in this case i agree with his moral.bigtrick
- yes... explained, after alot of his thoughts... I used to work in a lab with customers like him...vaxorcist
- gotta love this:In every case no one could reliably tell the difference between 13X19" prints shot with the $40,000 Hasselblad and Phase One 39 Megapixel back, and the new $500 Canon G10.vaxorcist

"Canon's EOS 7D is a pretty grandiose piece of image-recording equipment, whether you're talking about its size, features or price. You're probably aware of the 18 megapixel APS-C sensor and dual DIGIC 4 processors already, but we've all had to be a bit more patient than usual in waiting for the pro reviews to come out. Dpreview doesn't disappoint though, with a thoughtful 31-page tome awaiting the keen reader, and we've also got more digestible video reviews from DPhoto Journal for the less patient among you. If you're after direct comparisons against competing models, such as the Nikon D300s, you'll find those sprinkled in among the reviews as well, with Cameratown throwing in a direct head-to-head with Canon's own 5D Mark II. The 7D was found to produce "virtually no visible noise" all the way up to ISO 1600, and scored further points for its gorgeous 100 percent frame-covering viewfinder and fast 19-point AF. With a weather-sealed, highly ergonomic body design, ridiculously fast processing and a sensor so good that "in most situations the lens, rather than the camera, is likely to be the limiting factor," the only thing reviewers could criticize was the somewhat uncompetitive pricing, but that's likely to soften with time anyway. Read on... if you dare."
- first it was megapixels, now it's all about ISO. All of which is bs imo.quamb

full frame lenses on cropped sensor cameras isn't such a bad idea, you use the "sweet spot" of the lens

well, the camera geeks do keep Canon and Nikon in business... if it was up to people like me (and alot of other photographers who have a business to actually run, with profits and costs to mind) the gear industry would go out of business, as I rent, borrow, make my own, buy used stuff like an old 5D mark I, and don't really spend that much on gear compared to the gear freaks....
