What make is your camera?

[WalkGood]

I use a Canon Rebel T3i, but I mainly use it for recording videos. But once I start growing peppers next year, I will probably start using it a whole lot more for photos.

How do you like? I have the Canon eos rebel XSi, while I like the camera a lot, can't wait to get better lenses ...

I love it. It's a great little camera, and I like it even more as time goes on. Like you though, I wish I had some better lenses. The things I could do with some wide angles.

One great piece of advice, if you buy top level lens like L series, they will work down the road when and if you upgrade the body. I started with a t1i and a few lenses and after 2 years moved my body to the 7D as I learned how to actually use the camera in full manual mode.

Love that camera, a few friends own it and it's awsome! Only thing I don’t like is having to change over to CF Card as I've got loads of other media cards. For that reason I’ve been eying the 6D but it’ll probably be a while till I upgrade and seems there’s new improvements every year.

If you wait for improvements you will never buy when it comes to technology. The 7D is amazing and the most recent firmware (2.0x) upgraded the camera to an amazing level! Check the uplifts - http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/standard_display/EOS7D_firmware

How true, but cash is tight :/

Wow they are some significant upgrades, probably in 13 I hope to make the move heh

Edit: Have you heard of or had the pin bent issue w/the 7D? Something to consider when going CF card and their cost/speed advantage has been steadily eroding … this is why I considered the 6D but it’s very pricy IMO :/

Bent pin issue is only an issue if you constantly change cards.
I simply got a fast and large cf card and never remove it. I can get 250-300 raw images on it (and over 1000 full size JPEG if I ever shoot that) to get the images onto my computer I just tether the whole camera as its just as easy. If I was shooting for extended periods without access to a computer and shooting in raw I guess I might see a need for multiple cards or if doing a wedding etc where you may need a back up.

Yeah I shoot RAW and have a 32GB and 16GB card, I rarely have to change cards out and each file RAW is 25MB. I cannot say enough about the Canon 7D. If I was making more money shooting I would be using a MARK III but I do not have to time be a backup guy for most of my pro friends.
