Canon 20d Lenses
Should I buy a Canon 40D or Canon 5D?
I currently own a 20D and I'm ready to upgrade. I own an L series lens 24-70 f/2.8, more no other L-series lenses. I do wedding photography on a fairly regular basis (2-4 times per month). Other types of photography that I'm in are: portrait, scenes Fire (photojournalism), some scenic and general family "photos. A big question I have is: Is the 5D is worth the extra money?? Thanks
Is it worth the extra money? You should not charge enough to make a wedding, especially if you are doing at least two weddings a month. For the type of photo is doing is a breeze … Sell your 20D and get the 5D as main camera and a 40D as the backup. (And maybe look at their price, $ 3k for a basic package, $ 4k for a package of silver, and $ 5k for a package of gold are a sort of standard rates.) But if you want to keep the 20D, I still recommend the 5D. The 20D is still a good backup camera. Why the 5D? The larger sensor of the 5D produces a superior image quality at a lower sensor size. Another recommendation would be to buy the 40D and consider getting the 70-200 2.8L IS. Has it attaches to its 1924-1970 2.8L 20D and a 40D. This is great because you do not have to lose from a shot that were changing lenses or had the wrong lens. For the person who said her "L series lenses are not designed for APS sensors are wrong. EF lenses are designed for the full frame/35mm cameras. If you have any EF-S lens, will not work on the 5D. The EF-S lenses are designed for APS sensors. You do not really get the picture complete when you mount an EF lens on a APS camera sensor, hence the 1.6x crop factor. My last option is as follows. If you only have $ 2,000 to spend and The 20D is still a good performance, get the 70-200 2.8L IS. You already have one of the lenses must have wedding photographer, why not get the other? I met with a similar situation when the 10D came out. If I upgrade to the 10D or continue using a D30 and get the 70-200 2.8L IS. I opted for the lens and eventually upgrade the D30 to the 20D. One last thing. The 5D is probably due to an update in the fall. If you have the latest technology is important to you, you may want to wait until then. Of course, the current promotional discount immediately be defeated by then and who knows if they will run another cut in the fall.
