    It would depend on what type of work u want to do, in some ways the 1Dand the 7D are for similar purpose ie. fast moving high frame rate photography, the 5D MKII is are much slower machine in that it’s AF is not as quick, it is very accurate (centre point) and it has a slower frame rate 3.8 /sec I think…….so pick your poison, if it’s a sports camera either one of the 7or1 D is king they will of course do a good job on portraits and landscape, if it’s primarily portrait/landscape the 5D is very very nice……..

    The 1D is in a different league compared to the other two but like mentioned above it all depends on your needs and uses. If you don’t need speed, incredibly accurate focussing, dual card slots, long long life lasting battery, weather sealing etc. then don’t bother with the 1D and buy one of the other two.
    However the other two options are at polar opposites to each other and without meaning to be patronising but if you don’t know which one you need then maybe you are better off sticking with what you have until you understand the differences between the two of them.

    he could be in the same situation as me, and need both lol, i do a fair bit of motorsport photography, but also do a good bit of landscape and portraits, currently using a 50D and wanting to upgrade, but cant afford both so im stuck at buying none lol,
