Hi, joined here to take a bit of a look around as I am upgrading from film to digital. Currently have a EOS 500 along with a Canon 35-80 (f/4-5.6) and a Tokina 100-300 (f/5.6-6.7) (as well as some older FD macro lenses I have yet to get an adapter for, unsure if this would actually benefit me or not)
I am not sure what I am really looking for in a DSLR other than it has to be a Canon! I am in 2 minds if to buy a 550D/600D/650D (or the new model there seams to be so many rumours about) or look to get something like a 12.8mp 5D second hand. Eitherway my budget will probably be around the £500 mark and further on down consider if I need to invest in a newer lens
With a little one soon on the way, that will become my main subject to photograph, though also like to photograph nature and flora in my garden, and anything "industrial" that I come across while on holiday along with more family stuff.
Any advice is most welcome, especially if any strong thoughts if considering a 12.8mp 5D would be worth it or not
