Dear All,

I am interested to upgrade my currently soon to be 8 years EOS 400D Body, to something that is much better performance like example 7D...
Yes I do know that 7D is already an old model...While 70D will have great improvements on the Videos... It is recommended to stilll to go for 7D at current point of time?

Buying Body only, as i have the latest 18-55 IS STM with me, plus tammy 17-50 2.8, with 18-200 IS, and not to forget 50mm 1.4 biggrin.gif

Body (Using price of Import sets), 3.1k on 70D vs 2.85k on 7D...

Any Pro's Advice? smile.gif

Thanks!

i would suggest the 70D, it's better than the 7D because of newer technology. you can refer to some websites for the direct comparison.

one thing i wonder though, why do you have lenses that overlap each other?

Yea, was reading dpreview and some other websites... Would rather wait for something that goes in pro range that is using APS-C. Worse case borrow body for some other usage smile.gif

Lets see.. Long Story as below

In short, always utilize 18-200 + tammy, others are just kept in Dry-box.. smile.gif

70D is more than enough even for Pro usage.

Do you do a lot of videos? If you do, then 70D is the obvious choice. It focuses crazy fast for a video. But if you are the laidback travel photographer, the 7D is still a good still camera. The focusing speed on the 7D is very accurate and precise, great for sports photography. What you save on the camera, you can buy other things.

how about a 2nd hand 5d mk1? FF is the serious next step.
