cmra8407 · Jul 10, 2016

I am starting my own photography business and I have a T2i with 3 lenses already. I am looking to purchase a back up camera but I am toen between the nikon 3200 or canon 50D as a backup camera. I already have canon lenses. Execept the nikon comes with a 32gb card and 18-55mm lens the canon just comes with the battery charger and i would have to purchase the bigger type of sd cards and sd card reader. Help please which one should i buy?

Has to be Canon. A backup does the job if something fails. It will use existing lenses.

yes, the old Canon T2i has only 18 megapix

els, please get a newer model for a "regular use" camera

It was more about starting a photography business on a 6 year old entry-level camera than the MP count.

If you already have 3 lenses for the Canon system it doesn't make a lot of sense to purchase a camera that can't use them. So if your looking at switching to Nikon, you'd be better off selling all your Canon gear off and going strictly Nikon.

Otherwise you'd be better off sticking with Canon and purchasing another Canon body. My recommendation as far as purchasing at the moment would be, none.

If you can really make a go at selling pictures with your T2i another body at this stage won't really make much difference given your budget. So stick with the T2i for now, put your profits towards a more advantageous upgrade in the future.
