I\'m looking into upgrading my camera body. I\'ve been using a Rebel XT for almost two years now and need something updated. The main features I\'m looking for are higher image quality, spot metering, better AF.
I mainly shoot landscape and recently bought a Sigma 50-500 for birding/wildlife. My budget is around $1,000 but I also need to purchase a wide angle lens soon (had to sell it over summer).
So the options I\'ve got are 30D, 40D, and I was also looking at spending a bit more on the 5D.
If I bought the 30D I\'d have more to spend on a WA lens, maybe the Canon 10-22 instead of the Sigma 10-20. But if I bought the 5D I could save a couple more months and the the 17-40L which would probably give better quality shots. But then again it seems the 40D has a lot better high ISO performance which would help with my 50-500 since its such a slow lens.
I can\'t decide.
Edit: I think I\'m extending budget. $1300 on body. I\'ll get a full frame, might as well get something higher quality now, since I\'ll be using it for at least two more years. Will get 17-40L in January once I save again after the body purchase.
Which is better 1D MKII or 5D? Will 1D MKII be same quality, just with faster AF?
