You might find shutter lag a problem when trying to capture fast moving children with a compact, my G10 really struggles to capture usable shots of my never still daughter, SLR doesn't have a problem though. Best bet is to try them out and see if they cope, doesn't matter if the camera is...

I tried both and couldn't really see any difference so I got the non VC, it's a fair bit smaller and lighter and cheaper so it was a no brainer for me.

Taking multiple shots doesn't mean your bad it means your learning it's only a problem if all 20 shots are bad.

Double post

Well I think I will get the tamron and wait a while and maybe get a 5D MKII when i have bait more spare cash. Thanks to everyone foe the replies. I will sell my 17-85 as there is little point keeping it as well, anyone know the going rate for a mint 17-85 without a box? SRS microsystems have...

Putting the 24-70 on my 50D wouldn't be a great choice I agree, its not wide enough for a zoom for me. I am leaning heavily towards the 17-50, as mentioned above I'm concerned I won't enjoy using the 5D with it's older functions as much as my 50D, waiting till a 5D MK3 comes out and picking up a...

Thanks for the input guys. I wouldn't say I'm not happy with my 50D, I most definitely am I just feel I could do better. I have no doubts that the 17-50 would do my photography the world of good it's just the thought of spending more money on crop sensor lenses that discourages me. Buying the L...

I'm having a bit of a quandary, I currently have a 50D with a 17-85 kit lens and a couple of primes, 50mm 1.8 and a 35mm 2.0. My photography is family based shots, street photography and the odd bit of landscape, that's about it, the vast majority being family shots. I get on fine with the 50D...

I have a 50mm 1.8 and although it's got great sharpness and dof it's just too long for the majority of shots I want. I have since got a 35mm 2.0 and is perfect for my crop sensor, the 50 hadn't been back on since.

Price has gone up to £299.99 now which is a shame

I use a quick strap with grip on my 50D without any problems

Not much different from my 35mm prime in terms of versatility, i need the option to go wider hence needing a zoom lens. The 24mm 1.4f is tempting too but too limiting I think.

It's going to be a small local church, nothing fancy in early July. I'm not keen on 50mm really I always found it a bit too close, I seem to be in a minority with that viewpoint though! ;) The 16-35mm f2.8L has also caught my eye, my 35mm prime is rarely off my camera so zooming closer won't be...

I am leaning more towards the 17-55 due to the wider end, the L's are hard to ignore though. I will also be taking my 35mm f2.0 for indoor shots.

I'm looking to hire a lens for my daughters christening in coupler of months but need a little help deciding which one to go for. I shall most likely be hiring from Lensesforhire.co.uk for no other reason than they are local so I can pick up without the extra postage hassles/costs. I will be...
