Hello my photo friends, the time has come to get a new professional camera. My photo business is growing and I need to upgrade my gear to another level.
At the moment I shoot with Canon 50D, but I am now looking for something more advanced. I want to stay with Canon products, as all my lenses are of that make.
Can any of you please give me an advice in which direction to head. Should I buy full frame sensor camera? Should I stick to crop factor...
One of my most important lenses is EF-S 10-22mm, so it will not work with full frame. Or should I upgrade wide angle lens as well?
I photograph architecture, interiors and exteriors, so it doesn't have to be a fast burst rate camera ( I am not into sports or people photography)...
My 50D has a serious "noise" issues, with anything higher than ISO 100, so I'd like a camera that has improved on that. I want to finally shoot clean, noise free photos...
I will appreciate any ideas, suggestions, point or opinions.
Thanks so much to anyone that writes to me.

| I'm not a full time pro, but if I were I'd get a full frame and upgrade that S lens. Write it off. |

| I recently went from the EOs 50D to the 5D Mark II. It was a great move. I love the higher resolution , full frame sensor, and shooting at higher ISO's. You will need a lens to shoot wide angle. I also was concerned because I used my Tokina 11-16mm alot. I've considered the Canon 16-35mm 2.8, but have found my Canon 24-105 F/4 to be more than adequate at present. |

| It would be good to know what type of photography you focus on professionally; the answer to the question is very dependent on what type of photography you do most often. |

You must have need to be far more particular than I am. I am quite pleased with the results up to ISO 400, though I can certainly see more noise at 400, it is easily cleaned up if needed. I often use 400 as my general purpose walkabout ISO.

That seems to be the answer... And for that world, FF is optimum. Not question about it.

LOL, how did I miss that line when reading the OP's post??
Well, considering the application, if I were buying a camera today for that purpose, it would be the 5DII. Keep in mind that the 5DIII *may* me announced later this year, but of course that's just guesswork based on the market tenure of previous models... |

| Thank you guys. I am going to research the 5DII and see what lens would be best to get with it. I can still keep my 50D and EF-S 10-22mm as a back up gear. |

| FWIW, for my WA work, I use the Sigma 12-24 on my Canon 5DmkII. It gives a significantly wider FOV than the 10-22 on a 50D. |
