Ok I am kind of desperate. I know I should know what to buy but its just not easy. HEre is the deal: I am a travel photographer 60% of my pics are in good light (iso 100-400) 35 % are in medium low light and 5% are in very low light (Iso 1600). I cannot take a tripod to the places I travel. This means that sometimes I have to photograph highly detailed landscapes in low light at high iso (800-1600), which leads to noise problems with my 50D. Therefore i want to upgrade since I dont get those pics accepted by my agency.
I also love shallow depth of field for portraits. I take many portraits.
Sometimes I take semi-macros which need more depth of field but stopping down is not an option due to low light.
Sometimes good Servo AF comes in handy, but most of my shots are low paced or stationary subjects.
I definately need good build and best weather sealing avaliable in a SMALL DSLR (reads: 1D is not an option, no never, far to big and heavy.) I understand that the 7d is slightly better than the 5D here.
I submit to agencies and art galleries for prints up to 24x 36 inches (alamy and seenby).
Some of my photos can be seen here: http://www.photography-in-style.
I have lenses to support both a 7d and a 5D mark II. Pre-existing lenses are not a deciding factor. I cant buy both cameras at this point of time. (lenses are 20-35, 28/1.8, 50 1.8, 85 1.8, 70-200 L IS USM, 10-22)
