Is made like a tank and you can also update it/change settings via the Sigma docking port. The lens can be had used for around ~$450. I can't justify it's cost when new.

Canon 5D Mark III vs my 80D

Look at replacing the 55-250 with a longer lens more appropriate to wildlife, not replacing the cropped-sensor camera. A lens that reaches at least 400mm will have a more (more significant) impact on your results.

The Sigma 100-400 6.3(?) is stellar in my opinion. With crop factor considered, it's in the neighborhood of 620mm and has shown me tack sharp results.

Canon 5D Mark III vs my 80D

I have both and they're great cameras. I've never cared about the crop aside from doing a little math to get the focal length I want. Mostly use the 5D3 for shots where I want redundancy. I tend to use the 80D more for everyday shooting. 24mm, 50mm and a 100-400 Sigma has me covered on most of what I shoot. Either camera or BOTH cameras will serve you. What kind of shooting are you going to be doing?

Using the Older Gear?

I like my older stuff and it does what I need and delivers every time. My "newest" camera is the Canon 80D...still ancient by today's standards. I have a couple of modern lenses that are still in current production.

Saving money buying used

All of my gear is used with exception of a Canon 24mm I got on Amazon. Used is the way to go if you don't need the latest thing. I simply cannot afford "new" equipment. All my gear is in excellent condition and does what I want it to. MPB, KEH, Amazon, eBay, Roberts etc. are all great used gear options.

Haven't seen Amazon mentioned ! ? .......

I bought a couple of things through Amazon (used) and the experience was ok. Just a very limited inventory. Watch seller ratings!

eBay if you know what you're doing and check seller reviews and photos very closely.

Camera sensor cleaning, round two

I've always heard that you shouldn't use a vacuum to clean the inside of a camera and a computer, but I don't know the reasoning behind that advice. Maybe that only applies to very powerful vacuums.

Maybe static electricity generation?
