I currently have a canon 1000d with a 28-80mm ef and a 55-250mm ef-s lenses, so what would i be better off replacing, body or lenses???

I think the 1000d is pretty limiting as in low iso and fps and no video mode, might even consider changing to nikon, pentax or sony?????

Budget is around £600.

cheers.
 
While video isn't essential it would be nice to have, i just think i've out grown the 1000d, i mainly photograph family days out, motorsport, my lad playing for his footie team.

Buget is £600 plus the sale of my kit, guessing i'll get between £200-300 for what i have.
 
Been thinking about a 40d or 50d, tried a 60d today and liked the feel and size of it(bit to pricey though), video aint a must, for me a camera is for taking photos first and formost.

So which out of those two would be best, seeing as the 50d is only around £100 more. Also what lenses would be recommended i try to get.

Been reading up on the 40/50d and am going to get a 40, apart from the higher mp count(i only print upto a4 size so this area dont matter to much
) there really aint much difference from what i can gather.

I'll get the tamron 17-50 to. Also been reading about the tamron 70-300vc, would this lens be much or a lot better in terms of speed and IQ than my 55-250.
 
So a 40d body, tamron 17-50 plus a 70-200 f4 would come to around £900, which is £100 over my budget assuming i get around £300 for my current kit.
 
Its been awhile since i started this thread but after trying various cameras in my local shop i got myself nikon 5100 with a 18-105 vr lens for £540 and am very happy with it, the pictures it produces are a world apart from my old d1000.

So now i'm after a tele zoom and have been looking at the nikon 55-300 vr, tamron 70-300 vc and the nikon 70-300 vr, the reviews i've read are pointing me towards the tammy. Its only about £50 more than the 55-300 and over £100 less than the 70-300.

Anyone used any of these lens and what are your thoughts.
