Hi new-ish to the forum and seeking advice and help.
We have been talking basic pics on a regular basic camera, some have turned out ok. We would like to be more creative and produce pics of a better standard that are worthy of sharing.
We want to buy a new camera and have our eyes on one in particular - in a bit of a hurry too, as we want to attend an event next weekend and our current camera is broken.
We could probably make do with a basic camera for 80% of our family and work pictures but for the more specialist ones we are looking at a Canon 7D.
We were put off by lens prices specifically used for those long range, high speed race track pics as we won't use the camera frequently to it's full potential.
However having to rely on other people occasionally to take pics for us means we are missing out on opportunities, so it's probably time to step up.
Have seen some deals on Ebay but not sure if we can trust the seller, how it effects issues with warranty? or if the lens supplied are good enough just to get us started?
I know people pay over 1K for a good lenses for the pics we have received. However we can not go spending 1000's to use this as an when... with the other commitments we are involved with
at the moment, it would perhaps be cheaper to hire people?
