I am chasing myself in circles over whether or not to move to a 5dII or 5dIII or just hang out for awhile w/ my little 'ol 3ti. I am certainly not even close to figuring out the ins/outs of the 3ti and before I get into a gadget arms race....

If I go FF then I have to sell my 15-85 and 17-55 and would be thinking Craigslist, TDP, POTN, as the 9% doesn't apply. I am not a Craigslist expert but I think I can use my pay pal arrangement.

Just some thoughts - I am 6 months away from making a decision.
Craigslist is actually better for sellers, because as a buyer it is frustrating to wait for the one thing you need to come up for sale. I waited months for my 70-200, then gave up and bought new. Now of course I will probably see 10 of them pop up for sale (ha).

What is "POTN"?

For me, I just can't see going FF. The only difference I would really experience would be the immediate need to go buy an insanely expensive long lens or two, just to make up the length I gave up by switching to FF. Or else I'd have to buy and start using a TC and waste all my nice f/2.8 aperature and IQ advantages on the 70-200 2.8.

I WOULD like to upgrade to the 7D some day, but I am not yet needing to do so. I want to see what they do at the next upgrade (7D2?). I figure the 7D (and its successors) have microfocus adjustment, magnesium frames, and weather sealing, plus more advanced AF. Other than a cupholder, I can't think of anything else I need!
