Hi,
I'm in the market for a new DSLR. The choices are daunting to say the least. My budget is pretty low ($400-700) and I'm relatively new to photography. I used to have a Nikon D40 w/18-200mm lens but it was stolen.
I remembered I have an old Canon EOS 500 QD 35mm film camera with two lenses.
how much you think this camera (and lenses are worth)?
Would these lenses work on a newer Canon body? say a EOS Rebel SL1, T4i or T5i?
I don't want to spend extra money and add more electronic waste unnecessarily. Especially since I'm still learning about photography.
I'm wondering what would be the best setup/value for money. Will the quality of the photos be just as nice if I were to use a new/used cam body with these old lenses or am I better off just buying a new cam body with a kit lens? For example: Nikon D3300 or D5200
I'm traveling to Asia in the winter and enjoy taking landscape photos, portraits, nature, some macros and enjoy shooting video once in a while.
This is the old film camera I have:
Cam body: Canon EOS 500 QD
First lens: Canon zoom lens EF 35-80mm 1:4-5.6 III, 52mm
Second lens: Canon zoom lens EF 75-300 1:4-5.6 II
thoughts? suggestions? advice?
