With the price of the 5D2 now very reasonable in Canada, I'm tempted to sell my 7D and EFS lenses for a 5D2 kit.
While it would be an upgrade in image quality, it would be a downgrade in focus and metering. But since I largely shoot landscapes, portraits (of my GF), and vacation snap shots, I wonder if the trade-offs would be ok.
I'd be swapping a 7D with 17-55 f2.8 for a 5D2 with 24-105 f4. So for every-day walk around shooting, I'd be loosing a stop of light on the lens but gaining a stop of ISO sensitivity.
I would keep my 35L (for low light) and 70-300L, but ditch the EFS 60mm and 10-22 (neither of which would be missed).
Thoughts? Am I likely to be blown away with the image quality, frustrated by the dated focusing, or not really notice any difference at the end of the day?
