New toy

Journal Entry: Thu Oct 8, 2009, 11:09 AM



After more diliberation than the members of the G20 summit, i finally decided on which new camera to buy. The choices were either the 50D or the 5D MKII. I had the money for the 5D... just, but spending 2k on a camera still felt wrong..

The reason i bought the 50D was for the following reasons:
1). I don't need 21MP, even though i nearly convinced myself that i did.

2). Full frame is great, but i plan to do more portrait and macro so the 1.6 crop factor doesn't really affect me, in fact it kind of helps.

3). I have 3 EF-S lenses in my collection and they all get used regular, so i would need to replace with EF equivalents.

4). I have 1200 quid 'spare' for extra goodies now.

5). I looked around the deviants galleries that i watch and noticed that although some used 5D's the majority used everything from 150 quid compacts to Canon 50d. It proves that the best photo equipment you can have is a good eye and imagination..

I'm sorry, but I cannot reply and thank you all because of the filter which doesn't allow me to post too many messages in a row!
