Hey everyone new here! Some shots off my rebel t3 and 50mm 1.8 I'm still learning but loving the process!

Just picked up a canon 10-18 and it's so different to use than my 50, lol. Do you guys and gals think upgrading to a 70d body would influence my pictures enough to justify the purchase? I don't make money off my photos of course.

Sorry if these are too big! I'm posting

I've been told by a few just upgrading to a 70d from my t3, it won't necessarily be much better-- of course this doesn't apply to videos and the very nice autofocus. It's hard to find comparisons between the two since the t3 is so low on the totem pole.


I feel like the t3 is limiting me vs how a 70d would perform... But i don't know, that's why I'm here haha. Do you think instead of upgrading bodies I should try to improve my performance with my t3? Perhaps a 17-55 2.8 instead of my 10-18?

Very nice pictures, zCanadia. I especially like the last one.

Welcone to CR.

Thank you so much! Out of the photos I posted that's the one I'm most critical of, with it being slightly out of focus thanks to my great autofocus of the t3 haha.

That means a ton to me, I don't receive much praise or criticism from where I'm usually posting

Hi V8 Beast.
That could be because the Germans seem to be able to build their passion for driving in to the cars despite regulations and emissions requirements.
A few years ago I asked a German friend how they keep their unrestricted autobahn sections, he said no politician would dare to act to restrict them, they would not have a long career.
The Germans I have met love to drive fast, but they also understand lane discipline, unlike many over here that sit in the middle lane for the entire journey even when the left lane is empty! :

Cheers, Graham.

The person driving the Mustang and the BMW in the images above is German. As you can see, he is one heck of a driver ;D

Hi V8 Beast.
Now that tells a story, cool shot, well done.

Cheers, Graham.

That is a funny read given recent history of a major german car manufacturer (that was depicted here)...

A very nice mid 30's Packard by the looks of it. Great work with all the images as usual V8

VW's problem isn't that they cheated the system. The problem is they got caught

Great eye, Roo! It's a 1936 Packard parked in front of a 1930s house. Here in the states, that as close to a historic home as you can find

Hi IMG_0001.
I never said they were honest or not! ;D My understanding is that the cars would have passed emissions but in a higher tax bracket at least here in UK. No one can deny BMW as a drivers car.

Well, I agree that VW's problem is getting caught but honestly, I care more about THE problem.

I'm surprised to read that they would have past in another bracket. My understanding is that the emission control that were deactivated during normal driving caused up to 40 times more emissions for certain types of gases (NOx for one). That seems like quite a big difference compared to their claims.

Also, to me that is a big problem because they advertised themselves as a group who cared about emission control. But am I surprised, not really...
