Before I get to my questions, here is what I currently have:
Canon T3i
Canon EF 70-300 L USM IS f/4-5.6
Canon EF 20-35 USM f/3.5-4.5
Canon EF 28-90 USM f/4-5.6
Canon EF-S 18-55 IS f/5-5.6
and what I mainly shoot with it:
landscape
wildlife
general vacation photos
baseball and ice hockey from my seat (no tripod).
I want to update my system sometime soon but don't know if I should stick with the crop bodies or switch to full frame. The part of me that always wants the best of everything says go full frame. I would love to have a 5D mkIII even though it probably isn't reasonably within my budget any time soon. The part of me that is turning 40 this year and is trying to learn to live in reality and financial responsibility says the crop bodies are just fine for my purpose. Most of the time I even like them because of the extended range. The only problem I really have with them is shooting landscapes.
My most recent thoughts are to stick with the crop bodies and get the EF-S 10-22. Not a big fan of the EF-S lenses but it's the widest I've seen for the crops and it has received some great user reviews. Is there a wider one out there? Is the EF 16-35 L worth the extra $1000?
I'm also looking to upgrade my standard lens, probably first. As I hand hold everything, I would really prefer one with IS. What would you recommend for my everyday lens? The only one I chose was the 70-300 L. The 18-55 EF-S came with the camera and the 28-90 was a cheap emergency replacement for a lens that was stolen several years ago. I did choose the 20-35, but that was fifteen to twenty years ago for a 35 mm film camera.
I realize I'm asking several different questions here, but I need outside opinions. I end up just confusing myself. Any advise or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
