First it's not the gear that makes a good photograph, I have old photographs I took on Nikon D1x I cherish. I currently Shoot Pentax K10D and a Canon 5D not a Mark II or III, I bought the Canon cheap and I like to be able to use my 20mm Takumar at 20mm instead of 30mm with the crop factor. That being said I choose Canon because I had a bunch of old m42 Takumar's and some Pentax K lenses, I shoot on my Pentax K10D all the time I like the build quality and internal SR so all the old glass I have works great with it. My canon I use a M42 to EOS and a K mount to EOS adapter. I don't have the need for an Autofocus lens in the photography I enjoy but I have a few if I need them. For me the main reason for the ff is to lose the crop factor, I can't afford an 15mm fish eye lens to make it a 22mm on a crop factor camera for landscape photography it just works for me. Best advise I could give someone is to pick a system that works for you and invest in good glass, bodies will always be updated and replaced I'm using some 30 year old pieces of glass that would cost me thousands in todays equivolents!
Don't you hate people that look at your photographs and say wow that looks great, you must have a good camera!
