HI,

I have had a Canon 2000D for about a year, I have various lenses for it and am still very much a beginner, I want to upgrade the camera one day soon and would like advice on which model I should go for, obviously I want one where I can use my existing lenses and I want a camera that is a major upgrade and not just a minor upgrade. I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to give me some advice? As to money, well it's an object of course, but as I stated I do want a major upgrade. So any suggestions welcome. Thanks
 
In general based on your wish to ensure the lenses will fit.....

AFAIK your 2000D is an APS-C crop sensor body, the next level up is xxxD or even xxD bodies!

But maybe the bigger questions are:-
What is it about the 2000D that is holding you back?
Plus what do you like to photograph?

Answers to those questions might inform any feedback suggestions.
 
I am mostly interested in macro, textures of all sorts and botany. I'm not sure anything is holding back as such. I just wanted advice on a worthwhile upgrade, should I wish to go down that route.

I am happy for any suggestions really, also as I stated I'm a real beginner. I won't definitely upgrade I just wanted suggestions as to a worthwhile upgrade where I can use my existing lenses.

Cheers for the response.
 
To answer your initial question...
Assumption - Your existing lenses are EF-S (you've not said what your lenses are, nor included them in your biog).
The Canon 90D is the obvious answer as the top of the line APS-C (EF-S fit lenses) camera. About 1.2k new uk, or around a bag grey (body only).
The 80D or 7Dii would also be worth a look second hand (low shutter count 7d2s on MPB for around 800 notes).

But, as @Box Brownie & @redsnappa have said, ask yourself what you are missing from your photography, what you want to do, and whether a body upgrade is actually what you need.
You mentioned Macro. The bodies I mentioned aren't going to help, what you actually need are specialised macro lenses and/or extension tubes, perhaps a decent tripod or possibly a camera rail. You'll possibly also want software that does focus stacking well.
I suspect the 2000D would be completely up to this.

If you said "I want to capture kingfishers at 2000 paces", then the suggestion would be somewhat different ;)

It's also worth bearing in mind that the camera world is going through a seismic change at the moment, with Mirrorless replacing the top end DSLRs, and that tech will quickly move down the ecosystem.
(FWIW, you can use the EF-S lenses on a Canon R5 using their adapter ring, but that would set you back in the region of £4.5)
 
As the others have said your camera is fine for what you shoot, the biggest upgrade would be in other areas like technique, lighting, software and editing etc.
