I keep looking at the newer high pixel full frame bodies from Canon and Nikon.
Whilst hypothetical at the moment, if you were buying from scratch, what body and 2 or 3 lenses would be the best combination?

I photograph mainly static subjects of flowers and vehicles, so typically 24-70mm (with close focus) range plus macro sometimes.
Occasionally do motorsport so range up to 300mm/400mm?

I went from Canon APS-C to Micro 4/3 and love the system and actually think it is better quality but still feel a lack of overall sharpness and clarity compared to photos posted here with full frame cameras, from the likes of mrk and raymond.
 
Thanks for the comments. Pretty much the same as my initial thoughts.
Whilst the high resolution of the 5D S is tempting from reading reviews of it, I am also aware of the superior dynamic range of Nikon sensors.
This was the biggest benefit I found with my 4/3 system. It seems to have much more leeway when editing bright or shadow areas.

I am not printing bigger than A3, so I guess it depends who noticeable the extra resolution detail would really show. Certainly with close ups of flowers some of the finer detail gets lost in my current set up.
 
Thanks again for thr comments.
Nice to hear another FX user also has an M43 system :)
I was intending to keep this anyway, as said above, the weight advantage out and about is great, and one of the main reasons I moved away from my APS-C.
However I have started doing more 'studio' shots (actually a coffee table and white paper roll in the spare room. Lol) and it is here where I really want to take the move up as weight and size are less of an issue. I already have a tripod so easy to manage.

Just looking on MPB at giude used pricing and interesting that the D750s they have are more than a D800E. I believe the 'E' version has the anti aliasing filter removed? is the same as the difference between the new Canon 5 DS and DS R?
