I used to own a 400D, had a couple of lenses, standard kit 18-55mm, 50mm 1.8 and the 24-105mm. However I sold all of this to a friend about 3 years ago and have been without ever since. Fast forward to today.....we're expecting our first baby.

I want to buy another Canon (baby not due until the end of February, no mad rush to buy next week or anything, as long as we have it by January).

The question is which one? The range has obviously changed and am unsure what's what.

600D/700D/60D/70D?

It's pretty much going to be for baby, family days out etc. The 6D and 7D are more than I want to spend.

Will start with a good all round IS II lens plus the 50mm 1.8 and add others as and when I feel the need.

Ideally I'd like something better than the 400D was (using the 50mm 1.8 as an example lens as I used to have one).

Thoughts?
 
Baby is due in 4 weeks!

Over the coming days I am going to order either a 700D or a 70D, still undecided which way to go. I am going to start with whichever body and the supplied standard 18-55 lens and a 50mm prime and go from there. I've got lots of other things to spend money on at the minute!

If I go with the 70D is the 50mm 1.8 good enough or should I be looking at the 50mm 1.4? What about the 700D with the same 2 lenses? Is the 50mm 1.4 overkill on the 700D

Ta!
