I too am looking at the very same purchase.

I decided on a 5D Mk11. I already have a few Canon lenses - 28-135 and 28-105mm zooms.

My main reason over a 7D is the fact that my first EOS was an EOS 7 35mm film. It had a 28-105mm ( I think that's what it is) zoom.

I used to take great pictures because it has a wonderfully narrow depth of field so I could frame the object and have the background out of focus with lovely mottled colours.

The APS sensors don't seem to do that so easily. So I figure that the 5D is the first camera available that comes close to or surpasses the standard film cameras had reached back in the 1980's.

My personal opinion is there is no substitute for that and ideally the chip would be even larger but its a good standard to meet for now.

As far as lenses go from what I have researched the Nikon 14-24 seems at the top.

Greg.
