50D -> 7D (maybe not 1D4 or Nikon D3s)?
I have rented a Canon 1D4 for a week. I took a lot of test photos, but the conditions were not great. The camera handled well, but it had more noise than I was expecting.
I have also been thinking about a Nikon D3s and have downloaded some reference files for that camera.
The Canon 1D4 seems to be getting some negative comments with regard to its noise capability (especially in comparison with a Nikon D3s) and some focusing issues.
The Nikon D3s seems to be somewhat limited in pixels, especially if one is going to do a very large center crop. Also, it too is getting some negative remarks with regard to focusing issues.
I am beginning to think that maybe neither is worth the cost to upgrade at this point in time and that maybe I should wait for the next round of releases.
Would anyone that has used both the 50D and 7D please give me their opinions on if and why I might want to consider getting a 7D to replace the 50D for wildlife? Or other options I should consider?
Thank you.
Mike
