Kids, babies, & Rodeo

The 7d is great with the rodeo, but the 5dII will be tough when you are in a night/lit arena. The focus on the 5DII is a bit on the weak side. For kids and babies it's phenomenal. It's just not a sports camera, but your 7D is awesome for that. AND the crop factor on the 7D allows your 70-200 a little more reach than it does on the full frame, so that is a bonus!

I should be fine using my 7d for everything right??? Or is a full frame camera a must? I went from a rebel to the 7d.

Well, you are in a pickle there because the 50 is the only one that will work on a full frame.

If you are shooting weddings and portraits professionally I'd really want a full frame, but you can definitely do it on a 7D. Weddings I'd REALLY want a full frame for. The 7D is a really impressive unit for a crop sensor camera. I find myself using it over my 5d2 for many things because of the focus (I shoot sports) and the extra reach it affords me on the zoom. It handles pretty amazingly at high ISO's so, it's not going to cripple you for nearly anything if you learn to use it properly.
I'd want to upgrade that 55-250 instead of buying another camera body if I were you.

What lens do u recommend ?
R u saying that my 7d should be fine for baby pics and family pics?

Absolutely fine for baby and family photographs.
Well, the ideal long zoom would be the Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM II at $2500
The second would be the 70-200 f/2.8L (no IS) at about $1400
I'd actually choose the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 OS at $1400 over the canon above. OS on Sigma is IS on canon
Third would be the 70-200 f/2.8 NON OS version from Sigma somewhere around $900 I believe
4th choice MIGHT be the 70-200 f/4L from canon if you don't NEED the f/2.8. I NEED it. You'll probably need it for Rodeo. About $750 or so.
Last would be the 70-200 f/2.8 from Tamron at about $750

sorry to interrupt but i think the 7d is adequate for shooting everything, i don't see how a full frame can improve that. just saying... :no smile:

Well hi guys regarding the subject ur talking about.i think
The 7D is a very versatile cam and u can rely on in any situation.even portraits im taking better results with the 7D then the pics of the 1D markIV.what i ment is better colours and sharpness.the sensor in the 7D is very sophisticated even if it's a cropped sensor,with a good lens 70_200 L series 2.8.u can do almost anything with the 7D.thats by experience.the video mode in it is a kick ass.better then the 5d mkII cause of the slow motion feature in it.well 7D is a very good cam especially for sports photography and night photography.keep the 7D and buy also a 5d mkII or a 1d mkIV for the full frame and the big size of the sensor.slower cams but lovely portraits with a blurry background.if u dot have the budget just buy a good lens and keep on shootin with the 7D.for better results use the raw+jpeg button when u need very high results in postproduction!! Peace
