That's a difficult one! I have and really love the 7D - it's an awesome camera with top-notch features and IQ. But the 1-series is a whole other story... If you were debating the 1D4 vs. the 7D and could afford the 1D4, then I'd say go for it. But really, either will be a huge step up from your 20D. IMO, with camera bodies newer is generally better - most of the technological enhancements are for bodies, not lenses, and the upgrade cycle is shorter. For your 20D, there have been 3 updates since it was released in 2004, and a 4th is due soon, I think. The lenses we've been discussing are all >10 years old in design, and still excellent!


Between the 7D and the 1D3, I'd get the 7D and put the remaining $2K toward that supertele.
