I just bought the 17-55 IS f2.8 so you can guess where my vote would go. Ask Kerso for a price I was so impressed with his competitive pricing I ended up ordering from him. Can't wait for it to arrive! Good luck deciding!

I'm sure she'll go with my logic! May take 6 months to swing though. Besides 900 to 1000 isn't so far with 6 months to save!

I think I'm probably going to wait a while and see how the 40D 50D 7D crop sensor battle pans out. As you say the 20D can produce some fantastic quality images as it is and I'm not a pro so it may be a little pixel envy on my part rather than actual need! Guess MP count isn't everything but...

MatBin you say that but I saw a body only (which is all I need) for £1200 so figure if I wait 3-6 months I might be able to find one for around the £1000 mark.

Sadly not a full range of coverage for FF and dont really have the strength or space in my bag to lug two full sets of lenses and two bodies around! What about the 7D vs the 50D? Is it worth continuing to save and/or wait for the price to come down a little on the 7D over the 50D?

Fair points there Fezzr! Stick with canon I have two EF-S lenses 60mm f2.8 and have just bought a 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM so will stay with a crop sensor for now No objections with buying second hand to kit more kit for my money I mainly switch between wildlife and portrait photography, some...

I think I'll be sticking with Canon as I have spent a lot of time and money building up my lens collection!

I just wanted to get people's opinions what would you go for next? Budget would be 600-900ish. Nothing wrong with my 20D but I am thinking about having a second Digi body (have a 1n film body as my second at the moment). Thanks

Thanks for the comments. Think I will most likely sell off the Sigma but will wait for the 17-55mm to arrive before I do, sad to see a trusty piece of kit go though! Cheers

Hi All, After a lot of consideration I have decided to go for a Canon 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM and will buying it this weekend, thanks for all the advice on the previous thread! I now have a second issue can anybody think of a reason why I should keep my Sigma 15-30mm f/3.5-4.5 EX DG? I've...

I'd recommend the Sigma 15-30mm will work FF and crop sensors. Had one for about 3-4 years and it has been a great performer. Couldn't afford the 17-40 at the time and haven't regretted going for the Simga been completely consistent throughout. Maybe selling mine as buying a Canon 17-55mm f2.8...

Household insurance similar to a few of the above. Covered in and out of house and for accidental damage. Not covered if left unattended in a vehicle. Lens and body count as separate items so no need to list specific individual items. With Morethan iirc

Hi There I have a Sigma 15-30mm f/3.5-4.5 EX DG Aspherical which I have had now for several years and I also have Canon lenses from kit to L. I would say that overall the Sigma has been a really solid performer. Not quite as tough as the L, no weather sealing as far as I am aware but a lot...

Definitely woth a quick check could save you a lot of hassle. I had specific out of house cover as well which I thought was pretty comprehensive, it was all down to the unattended wording! A little hassle in the short term could save you a lot in the long!

On the subject of when you can post on the wanted/classified forums I recently queried this and as well as 100 posts you also need to have been a member for a minimum of 30 days. Tis quite frustrating for us but understandable!
