Guess I haven't posted in this thread - I don't have a lot of gear and nothing high-end, just enough to get the job done and well, I like it that way
I don't want to need a backpack to tote everything around, especially if I'm on vacation. I'm also a really right-brain oriented photographer - I know the basics for the settings I need for different shots, but I don't get hung up on the technical stuff*.
Canon XSi
Lenses:
Sigma DC 18-50mm
Canon EF-S 55-250mm
Flash:
Speedlite 270EX II
*That said, I'm turning 40 less than two months and I'm considering treating myself to an upgrade. I feel like both lenses work for me and I've taken some great photos with both but I know there's better stuff out there. The dilemma is - my ballpark budget is $1,000USD, so I know that really limits my options. If you were me, would you upgrade the body or go for something like the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM? Or, should I just save up until I can
really upgrade?
