Hi All
My department head has just been authorised to buy a new dslr to upgrade and work along side an existing Canon Eos 400D.
The 400D has worked well for us for the last few years and had coped in pretty much all the situations we need a camera for from bright outside use to very dark scenes in a theatre.
We currently have the stock 18 - 55mm lense - which is ok but gives pretty soft pictures - and a Canon zoom lense (which one exactly escapes me at the moment but I think it's something like 70mm - 200mm or about that) which gives much sharper pictures but is limiting when it comes to capturing an entire scene.
Can anyone recommend a new Canon body (sticking to Canon so we can share the exisiting lenses etc) which will be an upgrade to the 400D but not going too overboard (ie £1500 for a body is not an option) probably looking at about £400 ish maximum.
In addition can any one recommend a decent lense to go with it which could be shared with the 400D too. either something that would be much better quality than the stock 18-55mm wide angle or maybe something that would be a good compromise lense giving both width and zoom?
Any help very much appreciated!

) 600D and a 'Tamron SP AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] Lens for Canon' They'd work ok together and given dcent results and still allow the use of the zoom lense as required?
