Stay with the 7D or Upgrade?
I have a Canon 7D which has been a great camera for me, and I am thinking about upgrading to a full frame model.
I’m a photo enthusiast, and I currently own 4 Canon lenses: 24-105mm f/4 L IS, 70-200 f/2.8 L II IS, EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM, and the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM Macro Lens.
I really want the 5D Mark III but it’s too expensive. So my options are the 6D, a used/refurbished 5D Mark II, or stay with the 7D right now and save some more cash for the 5D Mark III.
My questions are: 1) Am I going to see a significant increase in image quality going to the full-frame cameras? 2) Will I be loosing some important features of the 7D if I trade for the 6D or 5D Mark II? 3) What’s a better overall value - the 6D or 5D Mark II?
I would appreciate some feedback.

That's an understatement. I have a 7D and a 6D. Indoors and in low light the difference is often staggering and game changing. That's true, I'm sure, with the 5d3 too. I'd sell the 7d and 10-22 and get a 6D or the 5d3 based on what you said you shoot. I'm holding on to my 7d for outdoor action and wildlife because its servo AF is better than the 6d. But if I had a 5d3, I'd sell the 7d. Kinda wish I'd known that before I bought the 6d, but its wifi feature is really cool and doesn't exist on the 5d3.
Here's a pic at ISO 12800. There's nothing remarkable about the photo except that it's at ISO 12800!
