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.

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.

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.

It's not so much about megapixels these days...
DXOmark rates sensor for a variety of RAW image quality results, not resolution, but more like file usability in various conditions....

but I don't think they've rated 7D yet...

And how come the d300 only has 12 Megapixels, but is supposed to be comparable to the canon 7d?
