Thinking about a new DSLR...
5 months ago

Moved from General Forum.

I've been away from photography for several years and am thinking about getting back into it. I had/have a 10D from back in the day when it was a decent camera @ $1500. Now worth ~$150. At the time I was looking to jump into stock photography and of course the 10D wasn't up to the task back the I would have had to move to a 1DS or bail all together. I bailed due to cost. I had some nice L glass 70-200 IS, 16-35, etc. which I sold on eBay for about a 10% loss after using it a couple years, not too bad. I kept and still have the 24-70 2.8 and a 550EX flash plus support gear.

I'm thinking again about stock photography and now there are more reasonably priced cameras up to the task. I'm still not wanting to go the 1D route but was looking at the 5D Mark III. The fly in the ointment is the rumors about the coming 7D Mark II. Of course the specs in the 7D Mark II are speculation at this point but I'm reading that it may be an entry level full frame and 10 fps. My question is... if you had to guess would you think the 5D Mark III would still be superior to the 5D Mark III? My guess it the 7D Mark II may have a few better specs and bell & whistles but the 5D Mark III will have better build quality (magnesium ally w/ seals vs. plastic).

Your thoughts?
