Hello all,
I need a second camera, as my 20D is dying. I have excellent Efs lenses (17-55 f2.8 and the 10-22) and a 70-200 f2.8 IS. The 1D can't take Efs, so the 70-200 would pretty much be stuck on it.
For general photojournalism, some portraits, and some sports - what would you go with?
My main concerns are high ISO performance/being able to keep shooting in low light, AF accuracy and speed, and keeping my EFs lenses working.
As far as i can see, the 1D is a 1D - better focus, nice viewfinder, rugged and sealed, etc. How is its high ISO performance compared with, say, a 40d?
The 50D is said to have a usable 3200, which would be very very nice for the basketball and soccer that i shoot. Also, its cropability should come in handy. Other features don't interest me so much.
The 40D with the 85mm f1.8 gives me proven low light ability for sports and a very able body. And the 85mm would be great for the portraits i shoot. Plus, the jury is still out on whether or not the 50D improves on the 40D in the high ISO department.
So what do you say? Which would you go with?
