So I finally hit that ceiling today. The one that showed me I've exceeded the capibilities of my 400D's. I need a camera capible of shooting at iso's higher than 1600. :(

Knowing me like you do you're probasbly thinking I'm leaning towards the 5dmk2 but I need some crop. It doesn't have to be as much as I have now though.

Suggestions please.

Oh yeah. It has to be canon ;)
 
Well then you're not left with much option either 40D, 50D, or 5D ??
 
I have it on good authority the 5dmk2 is your boy...
 
Stealing my thunder, are you? ;)

The 40D goes for pretty reasonable prices these days. If you need a crop body that can do 3200 ISO but don't want to spend more than you absolutely have to, this is your best buy.

If you want some 3200 ISO CR2s, pm me.

It used to my my holy grail but I think I'm going to need that little extra leg a crop sensor gives right now.

It's got the ISO but I'm looking for something that is also a little faster.

I'm leaning in that direction.
 
Video like frame rates in the dark... Hmmmm. Charlie chaplin amateur porn???
 
Bwana, are you going to be taking lots of pictures at the soccer World cup that you need such a fast camera?
 
I have both the 5D Mk II and the 1D Mk III.

I love the 1D Mk III, if you are looking at it for action type photography you can't get better.

Just be warned!!!!! That 10fps shooting... it's addictive :D 8gb cards get filled sommer very quickly.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Oh and the one thing that really is scary on the 1d is battery life, it just doesn't die :O I have 2 batteries but pretty much never have the need to go to the 2nd one.
