Hi, im toying with an idea for replacing my belowed 350d. It has some wear, the transfers from camera to pc is starting to bug out (shall post some examples, and i dont know if its my pc or the cam/memory card. Pictures are fine in cam, but after import they arent), shutter count is rather high.. it has been in some mishaps and it has chocolate jammed in controls..
So my budget.. 400-700? should be fine maybe even more. I paid 350? for my 350d when i bought it second hand and i think i can manage with slight rise in that department.. after all i try to sell my 350d.. if i cant sell it, its going for my niece as a practise camera.
So the requirements..
- I should stick with Canon, I have two lenses i adore from canon (50mm f1.8II and 105mm f2.8 Sigma Macro) and replacing them also would be pain in the a** and time consuming.
- I think i want to get an used camera, because stepping up for a better camera is what i want. Is it a proper step up when going from 350d -> 550d? Maybe im stepping up even for a full frame. Video is not relevant to my interest, FPS and focusing speed are important, as is good ISO-performance.
So the cameras im thinking now:
(Prices only from one shop from Finland, used ones are taken as an exchange. Normally from reporters, newspaper photographers etc.)
