Hello,
Sorry if this post is misplaced or a duplicate; but I need help from people that know the SLR business. I'm a college student looking to purchase a Canon DSLR on a budget. My dream camera is a 7D but this is much too expensive at the moment and I believe it might be a bit above my level at the moment. Right now I'm seeing many 40d's and 50d's on craigslist and ebay and they are sometimes tempting. I am also considering Rebel T2i because it has many more features and 18mp; although I have read many times that more pixels means only a larger picture and not necessarily a better one. But the video capture is also very tempting. Is the 50d a significantly better camera than the T2i; if so, why? Will it really matter as long as I have a good lens. Again this is just a 2 year camera with which I can buy into the Canon ecosystem until I can buy a more advanced camera. Feel free to give me advice or ask questions.
Thanks,
Brian
