T2i Upgrade Help Needed

[ashmadux]

Speedlights and a softbox, otherwise just wait.

I just had my t2i serviced after the Af went wacko. Back up to its great quality again.

7d- better (awesome!!!!!!!!)body, worse image
6d- terrible AF point spread, especially for people. Great for mountains though
5d3- awesome, expensive as %$#@
60d- better controls, frame rate, pics, not really, super old tech not worth side side-grading to

If you really need a new body, i say go for the t4i. the tweaked sensor has awesome sharpness, with the expense of higher noise. Keep it in low isos and you are good money. The all cross af points work great. then there's the touch/swivel screen. + the optical flash controls.

until ther3's a new crop body, i cant upgrade unless someone wants to pass me their 5d3 for 2k


I feel your plight

Another question for the group. If I go with the 6D upgrade from the T2i (rather than the 7D), what is the most portable and lightweight speedlight that you would recommend?

The 430 ex ii seems to be the best buy for an on camera flash. ~$200 used on ebay.

I myself have a t2i and am hoping to snatch the 70D when it comes out. Sure FF is amazing but there really isn't anything wrong with a crop body.. Though I hate the non 100% viewfinder. Yuck!

I don't want to cut in but this seems like a good place to ask... If you already have a 10-22mm, is it a bad idea to buy a 15-85mm? Better to go with 24-70mm f4 or the 24-105mm? On a crop body. Thx!

Not sure where that question is coming from. Are you asking for yourself? I have a 24-105 currently and its a great lens to go along w/ the 10-22.

I have a 430 ex and it is really good for indoor close work... but I wouldn't mind if it were more powerful. I might mull over the 600 in a year or two.
