Hi Jared,
There are a couple of reasons why you should consider buying multiple camera bodies:
- It allows for double angles while shooting (kinda busy to handle, but doable)
- 7D has 1.6 crop factor, effectively extending reach with existing glass (e.g. 70-200 becomes sth like a 100-300).
- 7D has 50/60 fps: always nice to include a couple of slo-mo shots
- If one of the bodies breaks, you won't be without
- Buying two Canon bodies makes you eligible for Canons CPS (Canon Professional Services) program, which gives you priority support with repairs.
As stated here above, camera bodies are cheap; but shooting with DSLRs is not, considering all the extra stuff you need. Nonetheless, no other video cameras can beat their image quality and versatility.
Good luck.
Richard
