Camera gear - list yours!

[dav3design]

I'd have to side with Kielan, I own a 50D. I shoot with a 60D at work and honestly it feels and behaves like a downgrade from the 50D.

If I was after something like you mentioned then I'd be all over the 7D like a rash! Than thing is a beast!

fyi the 50D is a very Raw camera if you just want to take photos - I absolutely love it.

CRAP just realized the 50d doesn't do video. Thats out... I really want something with HD video capabilities, looking at 60d's now, not sure I want to spend the extra for a 7d really... i'd rather spend the extra towards lenses and car parts :\ I've seen 60d's for about 899 with the lens which is in my budget, but honestly i'd rather spend a bit less... i'm 99% sure I want the HD video capabilities as well as a strong camera... I'm not very keen on the T range anymore so those may be out of the running. Might just have to get a 60D and call it a day. BTW i'm open to buying used, I had bought a used camera before and am not worried as long as the owner seems to have kept it in good order.

I just found a 7D on craigslist with the lense for 1100... maybe when i'm ready to buy, I will just swing for the 7D. Keep in mind, i'm an aspiring amateur, looking to further my abilities and plan on taking some classes this semester in photography, I would love to do photography / video professionally but not sure where it will take me. Photography and my car are pretty much the only things I enjoy other than my girlfriend :p In this case would you recommend a 7D over anything else?

[BeeEm]

Also why does the 60d feel like a downgrade to you? I have heard this, but no explanation as to why..

[Kielan]

Cause its not built well, and it really wasn't that much of an upgrade, I'd just get a used 7D for the price of a new 60D.

Looking to ditch the Sigma for a 70-200 f/2.8 very soon. The Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 is on the top of the want list. Also just played with a Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8 fisheye recently and I really want one of my own. It's quite a novelty but a lot of fun.

18-135 mm. IS f/3.5-5.6

I simply cannot understand people who talk shit about the 60D. Had 550 before, the 60D is simply better in all terms. Have had it out in the very rain for hours, and it just dont give a shit. The tilt screen is a major point towards the 7D, the 7D is just a tint more rigged, but imo. too big (you need VP and sealed lenses to bring it out in storms/snow anyway) and off course the more fps. 5.3 has been more than enough to capture the monents in car racing, mc and quard up to now though.
