New Camera Body

[Jon]

I recently sold some stuff, still got more to go, and I've seen a Canon 7D, body only for £500, I'll probably sell the 500d and all the stuff I no longer use - might keep the 40D and have it IR converted.

 

Looked at the 70D, too much stuff I have no use for, cant afford full frame, like the idea of a bit of weather resistance

 

plus, my mother is going to have some of my stuff blown up and printed to sell

 

Question is, would I be doing the right thing? Am going to have a feel of one tomorrow, but I suspect my shovelly hands will not have a problem with the size

Here's a top tip, never go play with expensive cameras, I appear to own a 7D

I once held a Nikon D750 in my hands but could not afford the £1500 price tag. I now shoot with Nikon D5300 its a bit of a come down I know....

even the shutter noise is special! massive step from the 500D, just feels right in my hands, no heavier than the 40D (to me) but feels like it would survive an apocalypse. first impressions are more than good :-)

I have a 40d which has been with me for a good few years now. I still have it. About 1 year ago I got myself a 7d. I certainly don't regret this move. I always thought the 40d was great, but the 7d in comparison is awesome.

I don't like to advise people to spend a lot of money, but for me it was the right thing to do.

With Nikon DX cameras the top of the range is the D7100 but for about £150 less you can as I did buy the D5300 which as almost the same spec + some things the D7100 has not got.
