Hello everyone
I've been looking to upgrade my old DSLR and really just wanted some advice.
I bought a Canon 1000D back in 2009 as my first DSLR and later on bought a Canon EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS Zoom Lens for it which has worked great for casual use over the years. However now I'd like a bit of an upgrade, without breaking the bank.
I've been looking at the Nikon D3300 which looks almost perfect for my needs, however from what I understand the Canon lens I bought previously would not fit the Nikon without also buying an adaptor (and even then, certain features may still not work). I really would like to know the specifics of this, as the information I was reading was very general, simply discussing Nikon bodies and Canon lenses, not these two particular match ups.
Would anyone be able to explain any limitations/complications with this? I don't particularly want to be buying more lenses as it really is only something I do for fun every now and then, so if this is a major issue it could be a deal-breaker and I may have to settle for the seemingly inferior, albeit slightly cheaper and still well reviewed, Canon equivalent the 1300D.
Any help/info would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
