Hi everyone,
I've been looking to pickup another DSLR and get back into photography now I have more time to actually take shots!
I've considered Pentax and also a move back to Sony as I loved all the old lenses (Beercan, Minolta 50 f1.7) but I've been looking at the classifieds here and elsewhere and noticed the Canon 40D at a good price, now I know this is a similar age to the A700 I had before and I seem to remember them being really well regarded at the time albeit too expensive for me at the time!
My question now is how do the two compare?
I know that a lot of the Kit Lenses for the Canon would be IS lenses anyway but am I likely to notice a massive difference using something that doesn't have IS built in v the Sony which has in-body stabilisation?
Also I know that there is probably a wider range of Canon lenses available and perhaps a wider selection of used lenses due to the larger userbase, but what cheapish lenses would people reccomend if I was looking for a General Walkaround Lens, a Wide Angle and maybe a budget zoom, I know a nifty fifty is cheap even new so I would probably pick one of those up.
If I was getting another Sony I'd likely pickup a Sigma 17-70, Sigma 10-20, Sony or Minolta 50mm and a Tamron 55-200 or Minolta Beercan, just wondering if there are equivalent or better lenses for the Canon,
Cheers,
Chris
