Hello everyone,
I am a new member to this site! I am looking to purchase a new camera. When I say new I mean new to me.
I have been researching camera reviews and other magazines with camera reviews. I have been using Canon cameras mostly for the last 10 years . I am comfortable with the user interface as far as navigating through menus and such.... my question and what I need help with is deciding which camera to select. I have the chance to buy a EOS40D and it comes with a 28-135 and a 28-210 as well as other goodies... The man was asking $900.00 and I got him down to $750.00 the other cameras are: Canon EOS Rebel T3i with EF-S 18-55mm 18 MP & EF 75-300mm Brand New - $750.00 or a Canon T3i w an 18-55 lens for $800.00 and last a Canon T1i with 28-200mm Lens - $550.... My gut tells me to go with the EOS40D but it only has 10mp. Is that really an issue? I know the 40D is not plastic like the others from what I have read but if I am spending 750.00 I want to make sure i am buying the right camera. I mainly shoot action pics of a motorcycle stunt team, but i also like landscapes, abstract photos, close ups and and other candid shots of my nephews..... any thoughts?
