Just curious, what factors were important to you in that decision? I think the 5D2 and 7D bodies are as large as I want, so I bought them, so long as they had the features that I need. I'm not dissing your decision, just genuinely interested.

I'll be using the 7D for macro and telephoto beyond 200mm and the 5D2 for everything else. If I hadn't gotten pretty deep into wild bird photography (several hundred images per month), I wouldn't be getting the 7D, but a body is way cheaper than tele lenses beyond 400mm f5.6.
