Title: 5D, 30D or even 400D...
Post by: Giedo on April 07, 2007, 02:15:24 am
Currently I'm out of DSLR bodies. I temporarily shoot everytyhing with my G7 (Im not a pro, obviously)
My Canon lenses are: 17-85 IS, 10-22, 28-135, 50 f1.4 and a 70-200 f4 IS
I want a new body with it, but I cannot make a decision. What to do:
- Use my EFS lenses and buy a 30D
- I'm drawn towards the 5D, but then I would have to sell my EFS lenses and maybe get the 24-105 instead of the 28-135...
- ...or for now buy the 400D, and sell it when the 30D or 5D get upgraded

I'm sure there are a lot of people out there like me, so I like to share your view on this.

Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks, Giedo

You can use your 28-135 quite nicely on a 5D.  The question really is if you want a FF body or can utilize a 1.6x crop body better---that would depend upon your shooting style and subjects (i.e., tele vs. wide more often).
