5D magic... what is it!?

Sep 15, 2010

I'm torn between a brand spanking new 7D and a used 5D. I'd like to go for the 7D for the newer technology and faster performance..but my priority is IQ for landscapes. People keep suggesting the 5D for the type of shooting I do, and they keep talking about the 'magic' and the 'look' of the 5D and I'm very drawn to having wow factor images but if I can get very similar results from the 7D...I'll go for that. These are swaying my decision...!
