Bang!

So playing with my new camera (a lovely 5Dmk3) lots, and while it's full frame, great at low light and has some great functionality when used with the eye-fi card it's frame rate/buffer is terrible compared to the 7D.

This made me even more chuffed about this shot of a civil war re-enactment at Arundel Castle (05/04/2014):

150mm, F2.8, 1/320s

Thankfully at re-enactment things then tend to shout "SHOOT" just before firing, which is handy.

	7D	5D	Difference
Megapixels	18	22.1	+23%
Frame Rate	8	6	-25%
Buffer	25	7*	-72%

Basically when it comes to sports photography the 7D trumps the 5D, plus the cropped sensor will give you a greater zoom on lenses.

The 5D is still clearly the better camera, but for lots of my day to day photography I'm preferring the7D. If the lights still good it's almost better in every aspect.

*UPDATE: After helpful links being sent my way I've tested out the 5D set to only record to a single card, and that gets the 7 buffer up to 12! For the convenience of using the Eye-Fi Card I won't be doing that though, for anything speedy I'll still reach for my trusty old 7D.
