Not sure what to title this really.
Currently have ...
Canon 350d (Spare Camera)
Canon 40d
Canon 50mm f1.8
Canon 70-200mm f4L
Canon 17-85mm IS
Canon Speedlite 430 ex II
My Dilemma is this... I mainly use this to take photos of my family, but find myself more frequently using just the phone camera (Galaxy S7) , I do occasionally take the 40d and the Zoom up to motoring events but find the results quite poor. I'm debating whether changing the body would make for a better "point and shoot" experience as I find the 40D to produce quite poor results on auto , or if i'd be better off shelving the lot and going to a compact camera for a few years?
What are people's opinions? Would a different body make a difference (I.e. 500d) or is this just me and user error, with the smartphone compensating for me?!
