Hello, first post, i thought a dedicated photography forum would be much friendlier than the Reddit photography group.
So here is my situation, i got a 1000d in 2010, i have loved owning it but i took it on a holiday last year and i felt i lacked the amount of crop i wanted for a lot of shots, i think the 10MP sensor is letting it down and showing its age, apart from that i love it, perfect photos for what i need. My idea is i could get a second hand body as a nice upgrade, now as i said the big reason is megapixels, i just want more crop room but then i have been researching cameras for close to a month now and i honestly just cant decide. There is a 100d which seems smaller but apart from that the 700d seems to be an all round better camera, i can get that for £300ish second hand with less than 3000 shots. The other option is a 1300d new but then it seems again like the 700d is superior in most ways. There is the route i spend more money on say the 200d but then thats a £420 so much more expensive.
Im just lost and need some advice from people who live cameras. I have 2 lenses, the stock 18-55 IS lens and a EF-S 55-250 mm f/4-5.6 IS zoom lens, i know they are budget and considered rather junky compared to professional lenses but again im not a pro, i like to take both lenses out and take wildlife photos and macro shots. This is my flickr to show what i use my camera for if that helps you in anyway https://www.flickr.com/photos/trumbit/.
Any advice would be fantastic, i have been looking at second hand as i say and would like my budget to be around the £300 mark but im not saying no to a little bit more.
