quit the ideas of heavy inevstment. If you're already making 72k/year, then you should change your lifestyle a bit to afford the best equipment possible and if it makes you happy become a serious, renowned photographer.

ok... so this topic went from comparing 5d to 7d to telling me how to live my life...
Made up my mind, ordering the 7d this afternoon.

No offense but it sounds like she regards photography as a fun hobby that earns her a little extra cash on the side, not her true "business".

7D ordered!!
Best deal I had was at BestBuy in USA
1,908.00 USD = 1,811.15 CAD
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Canon+-+EOS+7D+18.0-Megapixel+Digital+SLR+Camera+-+Black/9491935.p?id=1218115079278&skuId=9491935&st=7d&cp=1&lp=1

I am same distance from Burlington Vt or Plattsburgh NY.... but tax was 50 $ more in NY... so I chose the Burlington pick up :lol:

I'll leave for camping with my camera bag, my tripod and my 50 mm lens... and I'll come back with the 7D... :banana:

What's Included
Canon EOS 7D 18.0-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera
Canon 28-135mm IS zoom lens
Battery pack LP-E6 and charger
USB and stereo video cables
Wrist strap and software CD-ROM
Owner's manual

I don't care if the lens is crap... it is only 300 $ if I buy it along the camera, but over 600 $ if I buy it seperate...
And with that kind of loading of my credit card, I can't rent the 70-200 2.8 for a while cause there is a 1000 $ deposit required on the credit card

If I shoot a horse show this week-end I'm stuck with renting a lens with a deposit of max 250 $ :rofl:

100 2.8 macro is my best choice....
