Hi Damian,


Welcome to the Jungle! I am not familiar with the 5DI at all, but I am familiar with the 5DII, and I am also truly amazed with it's output. I have a 7D and I need it for it's reach and higher fps, but I think that the pictures from the 5D II are better due to it's even higher resolution, lower noise and what appears to be a greater dynamic range in regard to colors.


I don't like the deal that you mentioned, because I think that you can do much better than that Sigma lens, so money will be wasted. But since the 5DII is not in the budget, I think I would opt for a New 7D over a used 5DI and a low quality lens.
