Photography

Posted on | June 29, 2008 | No Comments

It’s almost birthday time; so I’m thinking of treating myself photographically.

With the sun out and summer in bloom I’ve been playing a lot more and really getting back into it. Now to start my foray into spending spare money on photography I’m deciding if my Birthday present should be a shiney new 40D or if I should stick with the 350D and look for a good quality lens with the money instead?

I’m not really that interested in the MP difference. But the higher ISO, fps and general improvements of the 40D are very welcome – a majority of my shots are taken indoors and low-light. But that would also point me to getting a decent, fast, lens and/or flash?

A 40D (new) would be slightly over my budget, but I can offset that a little by selling the 350 on, whereas a fast lens would likely be just as much without me being able to recoup some cost by selling a body (unless it’s mine)

Otherwise I’m maybe looking at something like the Canon 23-135mm USM IS lens or the EF-S 17-85mm USM IS.
