I've had my Canon 30D now for about a year and a half and would like to purchase a second body. My primary subjects are Nature & Wildlife and Landscapes. The bodies I am currently considering are 40D, 5D, 1DMKIIN. Currently I am leaning towards the 5D for the following reasons...
1. I enjoy shooting Landscapes the most.
2. 40D is similar to the 30D which I already have.
3. IDMKIIN would be nice for Wildlife (Birds, Mammals..etc) due to better autofocus, however I think I would benefit more with a 500mm f/4L IS before going with that body. Unfortunatly I can't afford a 500mm.
The one question I have is what advantages/disadvantages am I going to see in landscape shots when comparing the 30D to 5D. Any other insight would also be appreciated. Thanks, Aaron.
