I think if you’re going to buy kit; save your pennies and get the pro gear. You’ll be safer in a multitude of varying environments without having to worry about the small things and you can focus on the ‘big picture’ (pun intended). 😉 I recently got rid of my 5d II and my 1ds III and used the money recovered from those to go toward a 1dx.. The 1dx and 70-200 is weather sealed, while not perfect, it’s certainly better than a Consumer grade DSLR that would die if brought out UNDER a rain cloud.

Now, I know you guys are going to say, “well not everyone can” blah. Save your money.  When I first started in photography, I had 2 jobs. One to support my ever growing family, and one to support my habit. 😉 I also have a supportive wife, so that helps.

It sucks, and it takes a little longer.. But it’s more rewarding once you have your dream kit assembled.
