Hello,
I'm new to the forum and had a question about a camera upgrade I'm considering.
First, a little background: I currently own a Canon Rebel XS, which I've enjoyed for the past 3 or so years, but would love to upgrade. I have the stock lens for that camera, a 50mm prime 1.8 and a Sigma prime 70mm 2.8 macro. I have a food blog (betterwithbutter.com -- you can see some of the photos I typically take there) and so I mostly use the camera (with the sigma lens) for food photography, but I also love portraiture and have done a few engagement/portrait sessions for friends here and there. While I don't consider myself a professional by any stretch of the imagination, I am interested in someday (possibly in the near future) doing freelance food photography.
The question is, do I get the 60D now (and possibly use the money I'll save on another lens I've been eying: Sigma 30mm 1.4) or do I wait a few months and save up a little more for the 7D? I saw a refurb 7D for 1,149 so it isn't a huge price difference.
Based on my photo needs/aspirations/background, what's the best option?
