Whats the best camera for.....

[Duncan.F]

Portraits/people and low light? I have a 40D and some good glass and am thinking of an additional body with a budget of £1K. I have read threads and reviews on every camera known up to and including the 7D.
When I started photography I wasn't sure what I wanted to photograph and consequently took shots of almost anything. Over time its become clear from the stuff that I do [for fun] that its mainly people! So I am thinking of another body, no objections to s/h.
I have thought about a 5D MK1 but am a little bothered by the small screen.
For glass I have 24-70L, 70-200L F4, 85 1.8, 50 1.4, siggy 10-20. I would appreciate some summative guidance cos I am confused!

Cheers,

Dunc

A 5D would do you nicely for people and portraits :)

Dont forget the Fuji S5 or even the S3 for portraits, very capable studio cameras


OOPS that will teach me to read the thread first.......canon body lol

You seems to have the right lenses and a decent camera. Could it be technique? How are you photographing people (candids/street)?

5D has a small lcd, but dont let that put you off as its good for low light photography plus its well within your budget, the other suggestion would be 1d-N mk2 which has a better lcd than 1d mk2.

5D I would think
