Hi everyone,

I am looking for some advise on an upgrade. I currently shoot a Canon 1100D and looking to step up. I take mostly sports photos (https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/102153014642389204015/albums” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;) but also like to experiment with everything.

My lenses are Sigma 70-200 2.8
Sigma 30 1.4 (aps-c only)
Canon 50 1.8

I am thinking that I would like to upgrade to something like the canon 60d (new) or go for an older body either the original 5D the 1D Mark II or the 50D.

Sadly I have not shot any of these cameras so I am not sure on them. I like that the older bodies have good build quality and they each have their advantages I think. If anyone has experience with any of the cameras please let me know and also if anyone is looking to sell an older body for a good price let me know.

Thanks

John

Hi John,

Since you are sporting a 1100D, your upgrade path would be to move over to either 600D-550D range, or the 60D. I would not go for anything less then that since the image quality is something you might be very disappointed with.

On the other hand, if you are feeling wild, try to go for 70D, or the 7D which has a nuclear blast resistant body and is an APS-C system, so you could keep your lenses. Also, because of the 70D, the 7D is not experiencing a price drop.

Kind regards,
