Canon 7D vs 5D MKII?

OK, final question before I start actually taking some photos and stop pestering you guys. ;)

Is it worth getting something like the Nikon 70-200mm 2.8 VR for a camera such as the D5100? Overkill, or just making the most of it?

Being a bit impulsive, I started bidding on one the other day and only narrowly missed out on it. Some goit put in another £1.11 or so and my final bid didn't get through in time. It went for just over £900.

I was intensely annoyed - as is standard with eBay bidding :p - but then wondered if it's worth getting with the D5100 and as part of my first set of lenses.

I'm quite lucky in that the camera, 35mm 1.8 and 18-105mm are all being bought for me, so I haven't laid out any expense. Shall I leave it there, or go with the 70-200mm 2.8, or just get something not quite so 'pro' like the 70-300mm?

I promise I'll leave you alone eventually. ;)

Well I finally got my little D5100. :cool: :p

Only got the 35mm prime at the moment, but it does look to be a very snazzy little thing indeed. I'll have to take some photos and upload it to a flickr account as a thankyou for the advice you've given. ;)

Once I have the 18-105mm I will be a happy bunny indeed.
