Hi all,
with all my camera bodies dead, I have reasons to do my postponed upgrade now
my choices:
7D --> seems till now the obvious choice:
very versatile has everything I need (except the big and very bright viewfinder) I already have the lenses.
5D MK II, only advantage: full frame, 7D has the wireless capability, better autofocus, less bulky lenses, add that I need to get some new lenses and personally I prefer EFS 17-55 over the 24-105.
I am really stuck in the middle of nowhere:
I shoot mainly people/portraits and I need a performing viewfinder the 1D/1Ds series are too bulky 5D isn't reactive enough.
If the 7D had the 1D viewfinder my choice would have been obvious <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Since there's no question here and it's just a reflection let me also share my thoughts... there are guys like you who fabricate requirements in just the right way so you won't have a camera to buy and can spend your time lamenting with you money nice and warm in your pockets.
The 5D2 and the 7D are both cameras that are capable of producing far better images than what you have in your gallery. So if I were you, I'd stop whining, flip a coin and buy one and start shooting.
