I am a visual journalist and I am trying to decided on which item to upgrade first, so I figured I would ask for some opinions. Currently I have a 5D Mk.II and a 7D for my bodies and I would say I use the 7D 90% of the time being a VJ I rarely do anything other than sports or news related shoots. I also have a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM Lens. I am in a position where I could go either way and get the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV Digital SLR or the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM Lens. The price would equate to being about the same as I would sell my 7D however my older 70-200 would be handed to one of my colleague.


So the question remains if you had the choice between switching a 7D for a 1D Mark IV or the two lenses which would it be for you?
