I'm looking at picking up a used Canon DSLR. I'm not someone who needs the newest, fastest or biggest thing. Letting someone else lose over 50% of the value in a couple years is fine with me. I also have little interest in video at this time, and I doubt I'd print anything bigger then 8x10.
Mostly going to be used to get better photos of my art, fish reference, general garden and nature stuff. I'd like a sensor with a some useful iso range and some decent mp's but I don't think I need 15 or 18 for what I want.
I have a couple third party (Sigma) lenses for my old eos 35mm that I'd like to still use. I've read that some of the earlier rebels and even some mid-level models like the 20d didn't always focus with them.
Do you think it's better to go with a 30D or 40D with 30-40,000 clicks or something like an XSi with 5-10,000? I've seen some people putting a lot of shots through their rebels. I know buying used they can go bad at any time but I can buy 3 of some of them for the price of a new one.
Any recommendations for a several year old canon model?
Thanks,
Tim
