Put 50 1.2 on a years old 10D and you'll get decent shots. Maybe not as decent as a full frame/good glass combination but still vastly superior to most images that end up doing the round on Flickr.
I would consider the APS-C 7D to be an infinitely better body than the 5D MKII with its abysmal AF system and slow fps rate, especially for any situation where you'll be snapping fast moving subjects (such as naked cyclists  ). |
Yes I agree with you fully, much rather good glass on less body... but for the 7D, I have tried it and sure it is very very good, the AF is super and yes the FPS is better, but as picturequality goes, the 5D II can not be beat... not at all actually. + that when using the Canon L-lenses you get the millimeters right
and I have also read alot on forums saying that the Focusing on 5D II being bad... but I really CANNOT understand what the problem is.. I shoot the most with 5D II + Canon L 24-105 F4 and Sigma 50mm 1,4 and I hardly ever get any throwawayshots... the focus is dead on every time... sure the superfast Canon USM and Sigmas "HSM" helps but on the other hand you wouldnt put lesser lenses on that kind of body..
