What digital camera body Canon recommends you to meet my Sigma zoom lenses?

I have a Canon EOS Rebel G which comes with a mini zoom 28-80 and 70-300 super macro ….. macro I want to get a digital camera that I can still use my lenses on.Any recommendations? It would be cheaper for only the body? I'm looking at about $ 500 range.I'm not a professional but I hope to have a good camera to learn that it will last.

Sure, you can buy something and the entry level Canon Rebel XS XSi and save buy buying only the body. If you want a wide angle lens, is the "kit" lens (18-55 IS mm) will give you a decent wide-angle view.

Sigma DP-1

Both seem completely at odds with each other – an image quality and size. It was a rule gold since the invention of photography more camera with a larger recording surface (either in money or silicone) – equal – Producing superior image quality. Y for photographers continue to schlep around cameras and lenses that are overwhelmed, all in a quest for an optimal image.

On the other hand, we all want to be free of liens. To walk in a foreign city (or a dangerous one), without weight and sometimes the attention of a digital SLR would be nice. To take a walk in the woods with spouses, who can photograph the morning mist or a chance encounter with a deer, without the baggage (both literal and metaphorical) is in a digital SLR is something that many of we want.

The digital revolution has given us a lot of cute, smaller cameras, little bit expensive and seems to pocket that seems to be the case. For some users do. For photos to family gatherings or vacation photos that will eventually Walmart smallish prints, are often very good. But for the photographer more serious and critical, regardless of the appeal of these cameras could be in terms of characteristics that are disappointing in terms of image quality ( Kodak ).

The reason is simple: small sensors. For example, Ricoh GR 2, a handheld digital camera popular with serious photographers, has a sensor that measures 7.6 x 9.5 mm. Take a ruler to see how it is small – about the size of the nail finger. And, as we know, the sensors small, especially those with a high number of pixels (Most of which we all want to) take photo sites very low. Net income – noisy images even at low ISO settings, or if the manufacturer used the aggressive noise reduction in the chip, reduced resolution.

A sensor size, APS-C

This brings us to the Sigma -1 DP, the subject of this report. For the first time Once we have the digital camera of a handheld with an APS-C size or less. That's about the size used in digital SLRs popular, such as the Canon 40D and Nikon D300, and slightly larger than the size 4 / 3 Olympus and used by others in their digital SLRs.

To make the comparison a little easier to see by comparing the diagonals of these formats. The Ricoh GR 2 and Canon G9 (and as digital cameras) have sensors around a diagonal of 10 mm. In addition, a digital SLR four thirds format, such as Olympus, has a diagonal of 22.5 mm. A standard Nikon or Canon or Pentax digital SLR with a sensor size of about APS-C has a diagonal of about 28 mm. Godzilla is right – size matters.

Tamron and Sigma lenses are as good as Canon?

In the short term, perhaps. After twenty years of use, Canon will continue its thing, but probably can not say that for a generic objective also had some problems with the IC-chips motherboard with lentils generic and Canon cameras. The control circuits in the Canon lenses are the property and the communication between a Canon and the body is transparent. On the other hand, some Tamron and Sigma lenses can not provide all the features Canon lens can. This usually happens when you recently updated the firmware on a Canon body.
