Hi guy I wanted to get some advice. Some background info about myself first. I have a 550D/T2i with a 11-16 Tokina, Canon 28-70 2.8 L, 50 1.8ii and 70-200 2.8. I have been filming part time over the past year as a hobby whenever i've had the chance. Over the past year I was able to network with various individuals in the music and film industry and an opportunity arose for me to take it up professionally. I intend to shoot docs and interviews for the web possibly for broadcast but that is not till far down the line.
I have learnt alot with my 550D however ever the problems I have encountered consistently is overheating and the lack of low light ability as I am an available light shooter. I am now looking at upgrading my camera body. My question is that I have around £2500 to spend on a new body and I have narrowed down my choices to 5d MK 2 or 5D MK3 mainly due to their low light ability and their availability. I aim to purchase either FS100, C100 or possibly c300 next year depending on my cash flow.
Now my question is that I have the opportunity to pick up a barely used 5D MK2 for £800, whilst I would have to pay full retail price for the 5D MK3 . Would I better buying the used MK2 and saving the difference or should I ignore the difference in price and just go with the 5d mk3. I have been going around in circles for the last couple of days any advice will be appreciated.
