    Nikon D7000 vs Canon 5D Mark II

    Hi all. Previously I had a 5D2 and 100mm f2.8L macro. But sold the macro cos need funds for school programs. So now my 5D2 is naked. I can only afford to get the 40mm as a general lens for now till have enough money for better lens, which would be quite far away.

    However, one guy offered to trade his 1 year plus old D7000 with SC around 7k plus a 1 year plus 85mm f1.4D plus a 3 year old 50mm f1.4D plus a SB 700 flash for my 5D2 and top up of 150.

    Do you think I should accept the trade since I'll have better lens although body is downgraded to crop? Furthermore the AF system of the D7000 is better than the 5D2. Or should I stick to my full frame 5D2 with a cheap general lens?

    Please advice me on this, thanks so much

    Only yourself can decide which is better for you but I will never trade a full frame with a crop body. However if you don't mind a third party lens, you can always consider a tamron 28-75mm f2.8 to go with your 5D2.
