I was really hoping that the new 5D would be getting a dual digic 4 or 5 processor but it seems most info points to it sticking with one digic 5 at this point and having a slightly worse AF than the 7D. Sort of a bummer since I really wanted to have a cmaera with high ISO perf and a solid AF system. I think the 1Dx is reserved for that and I do not have 7k to spend on it...well i do, but I can not justify spending that much in my mind on a camera body. Well not yet, but maybe when I get a lot better, and have a real need for a PRO level camera.
Maybe I will take a 2nd out on my first home to get the 1Dx and 500mm.  |
Throw another two-grand in the budget because you'll want the 600mm with a full-frame body like the 1Dx.
The 7D is not bad at high-ISO, just not stupendous, like the 5D2. Here's a recent 7D shot at ISO 6400, processed with DxO Optics Pro 7.1 default settings:
