When this camera first came out I was abit skeptical about it, I didnt think it was a whole lot differnt than the 50d and was wondering why canon didnt go with the full frame censor for the 7d. However there are some verynice fetures to this camera such as it shotts 8 frames a second and is a 18 mega pixel camera. It is my personal opion that this camera combied with canon l series lens would be a grate combination for any photographer. find this video and other here
Looking At Lenses
I’m not sure when I will be able to get any new equipment or how much I will be able to get but I do know I would like to get a new lens at least one that goes down to 2.8 or 1.4 F-stop. That way Ill be able to have a grater depth of field and also be able to shoot in low light situations. I shoot Canon and they have a wide variety of lens that open to 2.8 the one I am most considering is the 24-70 2.8 I think it will be a good mid range lens for journalism or portraits.
