I currently own a 40D, I feel that it is really getting to it's limit and am looking to upgrade (I've had it for 5 years and have shot 20-50k pics/year). Up to this point I have mostly shot for family and friends and I want to get more seriously into the professional scene. I do a lot of portrait work: families, weddings, newborns, etc.
My biggest problems I am having now are:
-I can only shoot up to 1600 ISO (with a ridiculous amount of noise), and I do a lot of indoor/low light shooting including events such as orchestra/theater performances.
-My pictures are not sharp anymore. I'm not sure if this has to do with the age/usage limit of my camera or if it is just a lens issue or both...
So any suggestions you have of cameras that would 'fix' those problems would be helpful. I've been looking at the 7d or the 5d series... or the 60d? It might also be nice to have a camera that can do video as well? Or is it better to have a 'stills' only camera? I definitely feel like a bit of a newbie, so any advice would be appreciated.
Also any suggestions for lenses?
