I want to get into outdoor photography, bit of a noob at this high end camera thing.
I know the lens is where it's at, but I want a camera that's going to last a good while too. I doubt I'd replace it within 5 years unless something came out I couldn't live without.
I also want to fart with HDR

Cost is the only reason I do not have one yet.
BTW, a fart in HDR :dunno:

The ISO settings are incredible and noise reduction is as well. If I were you I would start with a 50D or comparably priced body until you have the relationship between ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture down pat, then sell the 50D and buy the 5DIII, it will have dropped in price by then and save you a few extra bucks to put toward more glass.
Of course if you have the coin then by all means knock yourself out. :twocents:

Use the extra $ for L series glass. You won't be disapointed.

There are actually quite a few lenses that will work on the 5D3 that are not L lenses. In fact, according to my latest copy of the B&H catalogue, Canon makes 12 prime lenses that are not L series lenses and 7 zoom lenses that are not L lenses - and all of these will work on the 5D3.
Only the EF-S lenses will not work on the full frame bodies, and there are only 10 of them.

I chose the 7D over it. Crop sensor/ built in flash/ but mostly frames per second were things I was looking at. Oh yeah, cash had something to do with it too.
good advice bone

nice comparison
weather sealed, shoots movies
looks like a better camera - more $ and not as many used ones
