Hello Everyone!
Need you all's opinion on both a new camera for our shop as well as the best lens for our needs (within reason). What I usally shoot (taken with our Digital Rebel & Standard Lens) http://www.ccwheel.com/files/img/wheel%20profiles/display/wheels/T10/photo_1000x1000.jpg
Our currents setup is an Original Canon Digital Rebel EOS (5megpix) with a standard 18-55mm lens. I've seen lots of photos taken with the Canon D200 and love the color depth they seem to capture. Not sure what lenses are being used with the D200 so I'm not sure if it's the camera or lens thats making the differance. Since I've used our old Rebel for so long I know it like the back of my hand and I'm hesitent to change brands as I've shot using the new Canon Digital Rebel XTi. Basicly the same functions as the orignal we have so I know how to use everything just the picture quality and size is larger. Anyone have any thoughts on weather one is better than the other or if it doesn't matter as much as a good lens?
This round I'd also like to purchase just the body and find a lens that's best for us and get a better quality lens. Right now on the standard 18-55mm Canon lens i usally max our when shooting our wheels. I've heard the shorter the range of the lens the better quality. Weither that is true I don't know. If it is I'd like a lens that would get me 35-45mm (min) to about 75-100mm (max) as that would be best used range for the things I shoot. Based off that does anyone have recomendations for a good lens (something not stupid expensive but not cheap)?
Thanks,
Dan
