You Star!! 5D in Southampton for £700!! The 1D mk3's seem to go for quite good money still!

My take is quite easy. Iuse the 5d classic and though it's a great camera it really needs a fair bit of dust management to keep sensor and viewfinder pristine. To be honest, if I were in your shoes I would definitely consider the 7d and the EFS 15-85 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens which a pal of mine has just bought into. The results he has shown me are outstanding enough for me to feel quite envious. Good luck.
