Been out of scene for a while, and intending to expand my gear range now. My gears are listed in my signature.
I intend to permanently mate my 40D to my 17-55IS, for \"general purpose\" I think that can\'t be beaten. Please correct me if I am wrong.
The way I see it, is that I should get another flash for staged stuffs. And another body for my primes to do some more refined stuffs. Thoughts?
So for this additional body, is it worth going full frame, which would render the very fine 17-55IS useless?
I was initially looking at 30D/40D/50D, but thinking that for a little more I could get a used 5D, but the extra money would only be worth it for me if FF actually does \"magic\" that a cropped body won\'t.
I say \"magic\" because I don\'t really need the extra performance in noise control (which I imagine would be marginal), nor the lesser DOF (may be I\'d appreciate, but I\'m not entirely positive if I will). So it seems that I am not looking for something on the paper that is tangible, I wonder if I\'d be disappointed?
Edit: Some seems to take issue with me using the term \"magic\" on a camera. To be fair I intentionally put the word is in quote, which would imply that I do not mean it literally, which I also explained in the original post. I do not disagree at all that a camera is a piece of gadget and has no spiritual nor artistic property. I edited the title if it would make everyone happier.
