5D is definitely on the horizon, I just want to make sure that I can pull off the whole business aspect of photography before investing in another body...whereas the lenses are always good to have even if I simply continue shooting as a hobby. I won't be doing weddings for quite a while...I'm honing my skills with portraits right now, mostly for my daughter's high school (Senior photos, Prom / Homecoming, sports events and yearbook group shots, along with the occasional family/baby portrait).
If the (USA) 5D bodies would drop under the $2K price point, I'd be less hesitant to invest in one...but even with the current rebate they're still around $2500. That's a lot of dough for a single dad on a Paramedic's salary (about 6 overtime shifts)...but if the difference in photographic quality is really THAT substantial, I guess I need to consider one soon.
For now it looks like the 16-35 is the better choice, huh?
