    Plan ahead



    I was looking for some open suggestions on what I should save up for. I am looking for the biggest upgrade for the price. as of now I was thinking a new flash of maybe a 7d.


    Currently I have:


    Xsi with grip


    24-105


    18-55


    75-300 III


    Speed light 220EX


    I know I should specify what I shoot most but I was really hoping for some broad suggestions, Because I shoot everything.





    Thanks Matt

    You have some nice lens there atm! the flash is a very budget one, so if you want to save up thengo for the 7D with a 580EXII flash unit.


    The onyl question really is what your budget is?

    I suggest an ultrawide, like the Canon 10-22. Or maybe something with a fast aperture, such as the 50mm f/1.4. You may also consider a macro, like the EF-S 60mm f/2.8.

    This is an excellent suggestion. In fact, the 10-22 / 24-105 combo will make your kit lens unnecessary. :-)

    I'd sell the 220 flash, the kit lens and the 75-300. But what to buy instead?


    10-22 sounds good to me too but well... we really need to know your budget.

    there is no budget its more like the next best step sort of thing. I would say my next buy needs to be under 1500$ unless its a body.

    When you get your $1500, sell the 75-300 and 18-55, hopefully you'll get $150 for those two. Then use all the money to get the 10-22 and 70-200 f/4L IS.


    I know some of you guys here are probably annoyed by my "always invest in glass" attitude, but trust me guys,in the long run it's worth it. I only have two bodies, the old old old Rebel/XT and my trusted 40D, but I have a lens line up that will last me many bodies to come. []
