Q. Hi. Il just give a brief overview of my issue...
Im aiming to travel next year from London to Auckland (no planes - the long way across europe, asia) and document my trip through photography, im having some confusion between which camera i should buy. Iv narrowed it down to either the Canon D5 mk2 or the Canon D7. I will only be taking the one body but i want to be able to capture all manor of shots but my main interest are landscape and wildlife/action. Iv read quite a few comparisons and am feeling a little overwhelmed. It seems that the two cameras are both suited individually for my needs. What would you recommend? Any advice on which lense i should invest in would also be appreciated. Thanks for your time
How come? I know the MK2 is FF which is better for the landscape but the D7 shoots nearly twice the fps. Could i substitue the FF and use a wide angle lense? Im an amateur hence the lack of knowledge. Thanks
Thought i should also add im about to start a photography course in order to understand the theory. Il have mucho fun putting it all to practise before i start on my journey.

A. Either camera will, in the right hands, produce good results. However, these are rather bulky cameras so you really should visit a camera store and handle both models. Think about carrying either of them for several hours a day.
So I'm going to suggest a different make and model of camera for you to consider - the Sony NEX-5R which has an APS-C sized sensor and is Wi-Fi capable. Here is a review/preview:
http://www.dpreview.com/previews/sony-alpha-nex-5r
At B&H - http://www.bhphotovideo.com - you can find the Sony NEX-5R with an 18-55mm zoom lens for $748.00 or you could buy the body for $598.00 and add the all-rounder 18-200mm zoom for an additional $848.00. A version with a 16-50mm zoom lens will be available on or about Jan. 23, 2013 and is shown for $798.00.
Regardless of what make and model of camera you decide to buy, you're going to have to devote time to read & study the Owner's Manual. You'll also need to learn about the main components of photography - Light, Composition, Exposure and Depth of Field. Contrary to popular belief, simply buying an expensive camera doesn't automatically mean you'll immediately begin making good pictures. Spend time at these sites:

Another, more esoteric component of photography is called Seeing Photographically. This site will help you understand what this is:

A. Now that you are moving your budget out of fantasy land, maybe you can find something.
If it is really important to get your camera allowed for the concert, you can rule out DSLR's or mirrorless system cameras.
Cameras with 1/2.3" sensors will give extra-crappy results in the low light if you can't use a tripod or flash, and you can't.
You are left with the premium compacts that have a little bit better sensors. That means choosing from among these, just to be maybe not bad. Being great isn't an option. That requires the kind of equipment you can't get a pass for and knowing how to use it. You can buy their video for a fraction of the cost of the camera you can buy to try in vain to match it.

That's it. If you want something else, then own up to the stated use goal being unrealistic.
Among them, longer focal length can get you a closer view, but it will be a blur unless you have a pretty low f number at the longer focal length, and it can still be a blur if you don't know how to hold it good and steady.
If the goal is to capture yourself and your friends at the event (at last an actual sensible goal!) then you have some very good options among the cameras with shorter zoom ranges.
