Hobbiers are richer than the Pros. Nt sure why you need such a high end specs. Doesnt justify your requirement. Even a 20D will be good enuff.
Should i get a 5D3 or just a 2nd hand 5D2?

simply because we all want all balls to be shinier than the one standing next to us :bsmilie::bsmilie:

am just curious.. many keep saying "I need cleaner high ISO" ..why do they need cleaner high ISO?
Oh for sure the 5DII is better at that than the 60D. I'm also sure it's better in a few other things than the 60D. However for me, with everything put into consideration, I don't think it's a significantly better camera than the 60D.
That's why the upgrade for me is the 5DIII, not 5DII. YMMV of course.
If I'm travelling for leisure, I would just get something compact, maybe like a Canon G1X. I can't imagine myself enjoying a trip having to lug around 2-4kg weight of camera equipment unless the sole purpose of the trip is to take pictures. In which case, I would bring everything I have, with filters, tripod, etc.

I guess I don't want my subject to look like my grandma? Ha... I'm not use if u have used any older models of dslr like 10D/300D. If u shoot indoor with iso400-800, pics usually turn out pretty bad. Compare to newer cams where the acceptable rates are higher.

That's why it's called a hobby
Mmmm......... so now... the hobby is showing off who have the shiny balls and not about picture taking.... :bsmilie::bsmilie:
I disagree with you on the Nike vs Bata. Main point is when u hit a DSLR, it is already a Nike and no longer a Bata. So all along you were having a Nike. and you certainly do not need a New boots that Ronaldo or Messi is wearing just because they are wearing them.
camera is just tool. Unless you are getting ROI than it justify the upgrade. Else its just human needs than wants. Whatever is ur call, i wish you the best.
The last I checked, the price of the 5DII did not dropped yet.... mmm..... :think:
The price diff for the M2 & M3 is quite significant.........

Last check used 5D2 selling 1.9k. Yes compare to 5D3 the price difference is significant but so are the improvements/ upgrades
Compare to brand new 5D2 @ 3.6k I would rather go for 5D3
That would be some $800-900 diff..... and I think no point going for M2 now.... unless new is $2400 & below....
