Give me a better build, a true ring USM and leave it at 1.4 with no IS, I'll pay a few dollars more than the Sigma. ~489?

I almost went with a Velbon until I checked one out side by side next to a Kirk.

Wow, I am surprised at the low volume of those who went through the digital ranks starting with the 1st Rebel. A lot of folks jumped right into the higher tiers, some because they kept the same higher standards from the film bodies used I guess.

Grew up with my Dad's MF no name camera until it broke.
Had a Polaroid 420 as well.
Things got a bit more real in 1978:
Vivitar XV-1 (used this in initial darkroom training at Photographic and Reprographic Arts based Magnet High School)
Nikon EM
Canon Digital Rebel 300D
Canon T2i
Canon Elan 7
Canon 7D
Canon 5D3

The 28 2.8 IS will be my next lens. Low key, low light, hand holdable. 4 stops? Crazy cool. $100 off? easy choice now.

Had a double moonbow here the other night, by the time I grabbed a camera it had swirled into a star/cog shape.

I am really wanting Canon to do a refresh on the 50 line. Something along the lines of what they did to the 24/28 would be great.
I'll put off on a 50 for now, keep shooting with my flapjack and get the 28 2.8 IS for my wide low light low key shots.

EOS Bodies / Re: Go small or go home (T4i)
« on: October 27, 2012, 11:03:08 AM »I stepped from the XT to the XTi to the T1i and now have the T3i. I can say with confidence that my T3i is 10x the camera that my XT was. More MP, better IQ, better ISO performance (though not 5D3 level, for sure), bigger/better LCD, more ergonomic, and better menu system. I mean, it's a whole new camera and well worth the upgrade!
The best thing is that it's still light and compact. I've carried it all over the world (camping) and have never had an issue with its lack of weather sealing or build-quality. The Rebel series is much maligned by purists in search of the ultimate IQ (don't we all fit into that category on some level?), but they fail to appreciate its advantages: size matters.
I have larger hands AND arthritis. I had a hell of a time with the T2i and even to some extent the 7D. The 5D3 is perfect for ergonomics. Now I'm looking into getting a 1v to replace my Elan 7 for the same reasons.
