Does my wife need a new body?

infinitex · Dec 23, 2011

Hi All.

A few years ago I bought my wife a canon xti along with the lenses and flash listed below. She mainly uses the Camera for Family Shots. This Christmas I added a new lense(50mm f1.8) base on some googling I did along with 8.5 hours of Photography classes.

So my big question. Would she get any benefits of upgrading her body to a 60D or 7D? She doesnt care about the video features because we have a Canon S21 Camcorder.

There was a huge jump in quality when I upgraded our miniDV camcorder to the S21. Would I be getting the same results the the DSLR by upgrading?

Thanks for your response

Best thread title I have seen in a while.

Benefits of what? What does she want out of a camera?

What's wrong with her current body?

It's pixelated.If she has exceeded her current bodies capabilities, and has the desire utilize the features the 7D would have over her current body, then go for it!Will you notice a huge improvement over the photos the xti produces from simply changing cameras---- big fat no.
