I went almost same route to yours and got myself 60D, never been happier. Perhaps 2nd hand 60D could be an option...?

I had both 70-200 4 nonIS and the latest 70-300IS, in picture quality department these were very close, 70-300 was really good indeed, not as good in clolor and contrast but almost there. I sold 70-200 L mainly because I was missing IS.

I know this is going to make some people upset but I am using tamron 18-270 and been quite happy with that as my daily walk around lens. I did have varous primes and L lenses but for convenience I do prefer such a versatile zoom like that.

what I like also about contrast is about old vs new architecture, there are many examples here in London or anywhere in the world for that matter. The best I have seen so far, and photographed, are in China atm.

my take is that they are for a publicity stunt with this one, they will do anything just to get into headlines. Actually it was quite successful attempt I must say. Now, will I buy a phone like that? Probably no.

well, you probably need both, long(ish) lens for really nice close-ups and 50 or 60 (macro) for the rest. Another idea that comes to mind is to get a fish-eye for some of the odd shots too...

another area to consider is brick lane and vicinity for really inspiring street art and people shots

steady-cam would be my choice for video...there are plenty of options available and the results are astonishing.

I am using canon s95 as backup too, very happy with the results

definitely get some 1.8 or 2.8 lens or better.

Lowepro Trekker does this for me.
