So, I'm about to make a big equipment upgrade, but I have a few options and I'm not too sure what direction to take. This will be my first big upgrade, so I really want to make the best decision. Currently I shoot using a Canon EOS Kiss X [Rebel XTi], a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8, and a Canon Speedlite 430exII. I do well with what I've got, but I always want to do better. So the question comes down to this: better camera, or better glass? I'm looking at the EOS 60D and EOS 5D MKII as camera options, but the price difference would affect the upgrade of my lens; if I get the 60D, I will be able to afford a Canon EF 135mm f/2.0L to go with it. If I get the 5D MKII, I will have a great full-frame semi-pro camera, but most likely won't be able to upgrade my lens for a while. The 60D is great, but I want to contract more commercial work, and a full-frame camera would make this much easier, but a $100 lens sitting on it kind of defeats the purpose; the 50mm can make some great quality images, but it just doesn't compare to L glass, especially on a full-frame camera. I was looking at the first 5D as an option, but I also want a camera that can record in HD, which the 5D cannot do, but the 5DMKII and 60D can.
I've got somewhat of an idea of what I'd like to do, but I would love to get some input first. What do you guys think?
