Next Full Frame Canon?

Hi All,

I'm using the 7D and love it. My only issue is that sometimes the 1.6x crop does not allow me to get the shots I want. I am considering a full frame and will go Canon to match the nice glass I've been acquiring. Should I go with a current model or is there a new full frame in the cards in the future?

    If your only issue is the cropping, then all you need is a wider-angle lens, not a new camera. The Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5 ought to be wide enough, but if not, Sigma is just now coming out with an 8-16mm zoom that should be as wide as any lens for full-frame cameras.

    If you really want a full-frame camera, though, the 5D Mark II is a great choice. There are rumors of a 5D Mark III, but only rumors so far, and a new model might not materialize until next year -- and will probably be more expensive than the Mark II.

    you can keep an eye on www.canonrumors.com for leaks and speculation. At the moment, there doesn't seem to be anything substantive, although recently the possibility of a 3d seems to have been repeated a few times. That doesn't make it true, of course ;rofl

    what about the 1.6 is it that doesn't allow you to get the shot? Is it that you can't go wide enough? In that case, I'm with craig, why not look at different glass in stead of a camera?
