Hi,
This is my first post here, so apologies if I'm asking the in the wrong place etc.
I take photo's just for me as a hobby, and have been doing so long before Facebook and the other social media giants appeared. I've not really picked up my camera for about 10 years (I know that's a crime), but with Covid etc I've got the buzz again.
I've got a Canon EOS-1D Mark III , and an assortment of nice lenses.
Below is an image I took though my window yesterday, to give an example of the type of photo I am thinking about. I'm also going to learn how to print the stuff out properly (I'll cover that in another post sometime).
A lot of camera's have come and gone since 2008 when I bought the 1D. I'm sure there are some good bodies I could buy secondhand. I don't have access to the classifieds at the moment, and I am in no rush to. My question is, what should I go for? I want to take the journey to full frame. So the starting point would be a 1Ds MkIII. But I could pick up a 1DX for a few £ (hundred, admittedly).
The reason I am after advice, is that I need it! I'm aware that if I went full frame, then to achieve the same image as below (300mm fixed) , I would have to crop a full frame image, so in theory I would need a full frame that exceeds the 1.3 crop of the Mk III. Does that make sense?
At the moment this is an academic question. There is nothing wrong with my current camera body, its just given a more modern camera could I have achieved a lot more when I grabbed the photo of the Robin? I'm not looking at anything new so I'll rule out 1DX mkIII's. Not looked any prices yet, but I'll only start looking when I've got my head around the available cameras . The last time I looked was about 2011......
Happy for any advice or links to other posts forums.
