A little update on the thread. I got my 7D today! Im impressed so far!
I've heard the 6D is a very good camera, so I'd consider that one as well. Unless of course, I am horribly mistaken![]()
there is no such thing as a 6D
haha more like a typo
heres my new beast! Side by side with the 450D(Kiss X2)
I bought the 18-135 before buying the 7D(a year before) and then i realized it was the standard kit to 7D. I already saved up enough for 1 L lens. Still deciding based on what range i need most.
Looking back through your photos, what focal lengths do you tend to shoot? Do want to replace what you have or do you want something to supplement it? Seriously consider the 70-200 f/4L. At $700 it is the absolute best bang for the buck L glass out there. I think a 3 lens quiver that will never let you down on a crop is the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8, Canon Ef-s 17-55 f/2.8 and Canon 70-200 f/4L.
If you want to replace what you have with a similar range the 24-105 f/4L would be a good option. I just didn't think it was wide enough for a walk around lens on a crop.
my photos?![]()
I simply meant if you were replacing your 18-135 it may be useful for you to go back through your pictures and see where you were shooting mostly. If the majority of your photos were in the wider angle end compared to the longer end it would help decide which way to go with what L lens to get.
I find on a crop the 50 1.8 isn't ideal. I shoot my 35 f/2 and 85 f/1.4 way more than my nifty-fifty. Honestly I can't tell you the last time it was on my 7D. If I had a FF I would agree but not for a crop (my $.02).
And for the 70-200, I found with the good ISO performance of todays cameras the f/4 was plenty for me. I actually sold my 70-200 f/2.8 IS (first generation) and bought the f/4 non IS. Saved me dough, saved me weight and I'm always outside when shooting with it.
Anyway, enjoy the camera!
