Question from Caitlin: “Which is the best canon camera: 5d mark ii or the iii or the 60 d or the 7d?”

David:  iii is the topshelf.

Tom: full frame — Mark III, 1.6x crop — 7D, Overall – 1Dx

Savannah: All depends on what your using it for, the 60D is what i have, love it. But from there they all go up 7d is next than the marks.

Mark:  It all comes down to what you use your camera for.

Amanda: if you go to canon’s website, they should have them all listed in order. A general rule of thumb is to go by price… highest being the best usually.

Melissa: mark III is overall the best if you can afford it otherwise go for the 7D…compared to the 60D the 7D is faster!

Colleen: see dpreview.com for excellent feedback…

Shanyn:  mkiii!!!!

Carolyn: The “best” camera that you will ever have is the one in your mind’s eye, the one you use for your creativity. Your ability to see/work with light, “see” an image and capture it, and then develop/process it in your digital darkroom is the BEST tool that you will ever use…..or need. Your equipment is just a tool to help get you there. Now, we all know that mark III is the best you can get BUT! just get what you can afford body and lens-wise. It’s not worth going into debt over. 😀

Caitlin: thanks for all the answers so far!! (: just trying to start my photography business and want to have a good camera cause right now I have a T2i and I definitely need to upgrade

Melanie: The camera doesn’t make the photographer…..the photographer makes the camera

Cheryl: I have the 5D, the 7D and the 5DMark 111…the Mark 111 is by far the best with the 7D behind it for those long shots…Love the Mark 111 so much.

Melanie:  6D!

Kat: I’m in your same shoes – debating the 7D or Mark iii (well, prob the Mark ii in my case, lol)

Cheryl:  If you do weddings. …5dm3. ….7d will serve for all else

Danielle:  It’s all in the glass. But I have the Mark II and I love it.

Ria: I have 7D and I love it, totally contented with it but of course, who doesn’t want 5D III, soon if I can afford of course. For now, I’m settled with my 7D 🙂
