Hi
I currently have a Canon 40D, and as I shoot a lot of low-light photos, I have been considering to buy a used 5D. There are just a couple issues, first is that Tamron 28-74mm lens isn't as good as 17-50mm (I have it currently), and that longer focal length lenses such as Canon's 70-200mm don't have as much reach. On the plus side there are cheaper 'standard' prime lenses, like 50mm 1.8 or 1.4, and the better viewfinder is a plus.
So, what do you think, is it worth it?
