I'm saving up for my first DSLR after using my dad's D5000 for most of my photos so far, and I was originally going to be looking at the D3100, so that I could still use his kit lenses (Nikkor 17-55 and Tamron 70-300), but I also want to do a fair bit of video editing, and a fair bit of the ideas I have in my head need twixtor, so 60fps 720p footage would be awesome, from the 550d, as supposed to the 24-30fps you can get from equivalent Nikkons.
I was originally against getting the 550d as it would mean having to buy equivalent lenses again, but my Dad still has his (broken) EOS 600, and two EF lenses with it, a Sigma 24-70 and a Sigma 70-200. On wikipedia it says that you can use the EF lens mounts on EF-S cameras /albeit with a crop/. What would the crop be, exactly?
The lenses are in fine condition afaik, but I'll check them in person on Saturday, but those two lenses could make it possible for me to justify getting a 550d, so I was wondering if any of you knew more anything, maybe some of you use EF lenses on EF-S cameras?
Thanks in advance
