Ka ka ..
Still many people are BLINDLY into 5D, and not into feature.
Say back to film time, why the EOS 1 series was $4K? and other cameras could be $500 or so? EXACTLY same sensor (film) and image quality .. why the pro body costs so much more? It all about handling, features, metering, sealing, structure etc etc ..
I can tell you 7D body is by far .. WAY better then 5D, however, one is FF, one is APS. (not going to say which is better, just like comparing 645 and 67)
Yes, you can find a used 5D for $1K, but how is the shutter life? condition? 5D can take wonderful picture, and I actually think pic from my 5D is better then my 5DII, however, I prefer to use 7D more then both of them. AF system alone already worth the money.
(In general speaking, if u like to do portrait / landscape, 5D is a better choice, since AF/metering/speed are not the primary factor.)
40D v 50D? while 50D has higher pixel density, (more noise) and higher writing speed, the AF and metering system are about the same.
IMO, the biggest advantage of 50D over 40D, is slightly better AWB, and with the AF adjusting feature if you need it. However, if you are going to take RAW, (which is good with 40D) then AWB doesn't matter.
Again, price point is important, and also, how many gears you want to handle? I know 1D4 + 600mm is good, however, even money is not an issue, carrying 15lb body+lens is not everyone wants to do.
Your kit lens is not the IS version, right? try to find a used 18-55IS, probably around $120, they are decent.
17-55IS is a great lens, one good reason to keep APS body, as there is nothing like that for FF body from Canon now. (rumor 24-70IS, but will be $2K if they make it)
However, not MUCH better from the 17-55IS over 18-55IS under "nice shooting" condition.
Oh well, just my 2 cent .. |
