  1. It was in 1980 that I bought my first camera, a Nikon F3. I took a 5 hour trip to NYC to 47th Street Photo and it remains one of my more memorable experiences. If you haven't been to a store like this the premium is worth it, and you can always order online to skip the entertainment tax.
  2. I'm in a similar position. I wanted to upgrade my 7D but decided at full price of the 7D2 and resale value of the original it didn't make much sense with what is only incremental benefit for my use. I decided it would be much more practical and rewarding to take this time to own my first FF DSLR. I have only the EF-S 10-22mm & 15- 85mm (and love them both), and a good range of EF lenses topping out with the 70-300mm L. I'm holding out for possible holiday sales on a 6D and 24-105mm kit. I will keep my 7D and eventually upgrade it, as I do need both the longer reach and AF. To prepare for my transition I have just purchased a 16-35mm f/4 L and will sell the 10-22mm. This may be an option for you as well. If you don't need the AF and other features of the 5Diii the 6D is a fantastic value and with Black Friday looming the 6D kit may be almost the same as a 7Dii upgrade. Yeah OK, I spent a lot of time justifying my move, it may not work for you. :) I thought it would be cool to have the best of both worlds and the two complement each other well I think, so that's what I'm going with. Good luck to you!
