**** you Ray! **** you Dewek! **** all of y'all!!

I'll have it :p

I would get a 7D, but I REALLY want a 5DmkII (who wouldn't). My head tells me to get the lenses I need first, but my heart really wants the 5DmkII. If I got the 7D I know I'd only regret not waiting a bit longer for the 5dmkII, and as I make and have no plans to make money from photography (plus I suck!) it would be a looooong wait to save. If I blitzed it, I reckon I could do it in about 6 months, but I'd be painfully skint :D

I have the opportunity to trade... I enjoy sports but that has fallen by the side at the moment, so no longer my main focus. Hmmmm, just when I though I was settled... I could sell the 150-500 to help fund a 24-70 as well...

Damn you :D

Looking around, it seems digital photography is immensely popular at the moment. A hell of a lot of stores are in back order for pretty much anything decent.

Sadly this has happened with my Sigma 50mm 1.4 that I expected last Thursday. It's had to be ordered and delivered direct from Sigma :o

Same situation really...

Ideally i'd have both, depending on what I need it for.

Just need the few £k to get some nice L glass :(

How do you find the AF in use? I'm thinking more down the lines of a toddler who moves in erratic bursts of energy so I tend to use AI Servo...

You got to learn a few things.

Using the outer points, you have to try get it land on something contrast-sy, or where one tone meets another, like where the shirt meet the skin on the wrist. If it land on a single colour, you are playing with fire and probably miss the shot.

The lens matters, a LOT.

The centre point can pretty much focus on anything.

I always try for a contrast point when focussing anyway. I'm so tempted but I'll miss the reach of the crop when I do dabble in things other than portraits and landscapes. The IQ of full frame is such a pull though.
