Sell T2i for 5DMkI?

[dvxjiro]

Do you think it is wise to sell my T2i so i can get a used 5DMkI?
Was thinking about this cause i'm going on a trip soon. Want to enter the fullframe world
I use my GH2 for video.

Two is one, one is none. if your gh2 goes down then you don't have a video camera. If you are prepared for that contingency then go for it.

Are you using these are a pro or as a hobby? What lenses do you have?

Both. I have some L glass and Sigma 30.
Waiting for the MkIII and thought of just going with the MkI for now since i can
sell the T2i.

Nothing is like full frame. The venerable 5Dmki is a solid performer. I used one for years. The photos still look great.

I recommend holding one and trying it with your lenses, if you haven't already. I own one and agree it's a great camera, albeit a bit heavy and cumbersome. You may also be disappointed in its speed. Full frame is in many ways a new ball game and worth it, though. Consider a used 5d2 despite the large cost difference.

Thanks for the feedback. I have decided to not go with the older 5D. I kept going back and forth.
I want to go forward with technology not backward. We are close to the next gen. I will pick up a lens instead.
