Hello all,

I've been using a 1000d for a while now, and one thing that really bugs me is the low continuous shooting capacity. Something more like the 7d would be good :geek: Would these lenses be compatible with each other, or would i be needing to move up to l series ?

Thanks

Yep, any EF or EF-S lens will work on a 7D (or any 1.6 crop body). However, I gather that the 7D needs good glass to get the full benefit (but ask the 7D shooters).

You could always upgrade lenses and buy a used XXD or 1 series? Just a thought.
 
Indeed, any glass will work with any Canon body up to the 7D, as soon as you go full frame or 1 series though, you need EF glass, as EF-S wnt fit.

As mentioned though, the better the camera then the more it will tax lesser lenses. Not that the other lenses are bad, its just the MP and IQ of the higher level cameras show up the abnormalities that you just dont notice on other bodies.
 
Thanks for clearing that up ;) At least if i upgrade my camera i can still use my existing lenses until funds allow for some l's :thinking: Im very careful with my camera at the moment, i reckon if ive got a second as backup i might be less scared to use it :dummy:

I am shooting mostly in raw. At the moment im finding it invalueable for easily tweaking my pics- One day when i get good enough hopefully i wont need to :)

Last night i spent a fair bit of time researching battery grips. The main thing that came up was ease of use when shooting portraits and also it looks quite good :cool::lol:- So would adding a battery grip noticibly increase the speed of shots ?

I've got to admit, ive never given the memory card speed a thought. Are there any you could recommend ?

Thanks

A small point... as far as I know EF-S lenses will not fit a 10D or earlier. I think that the first EF-S fit camera was the 300D.

A battery grip wont help with speed at all, that just holds 2 batteries instead of 1 and adds a some of the grip buttons...

i also have a 1000d, but to be honest i rarely hit the buffer unless its a long exposure, its about timing it right and not constantly using 'Continuous' shooting mode...
 
Memory cards have different "write" speeds depending on the class the higher the class the quicker they "write" to memory. Also the more they cost. Different people swear by different card manufacturers. I use Sandisk and for my camera Canon recommend a minimum of Class 6 but I do use some class 4's in it.

Hi Coley

Yes the 1000D shoots upto a max of 3fps, where as the 7D is upto 8fps. Don't forget about the new 60D, this shoots upto 5.3fps and has the new swival screen.

A good friend has just been through the upgrade dilema and after what seemed an age, has just picked up a 60D and he loves it. Part of the reason was money (the 60D is cheaper), but when he looked at the spec and what he wanted / what his current body wasn't offering him, he decided the 60D was a better option.
