Hello everyone
I've had my trusty 1100D for 8 years or so now (well not so trusty as it went in for repair twice with shutter errors) and I've learned about the basics of photography with it even if I haven't taken that many photos with it. Maybe 3,500 or so. I got it as the display model for about £200 with the 18-55 lens so I feel that I've got my monies worth from it. I get equal amount of enjoyment from tinkering with settings (i.e. a nice way of saying playing around with it) as I do composing and taking the actual photographs. I barely qualify as a hobbyist I think as I don't have a Flickr page or anything and don't use Photoshop! I take it on days out and things.
Anyway one of the things I would like from a new camera (and really spurred me to start looking) is 1080p 60fps recording, ideally with shutter control for filming screens (ranging from 50 to 144Hz). I can do this on my phone (without the refresh rate sync) but it's quite noisy.
I've been looking at the 250D as a replacement so I can keep my original lens. But I am not sure how much of an upgrade it will be. I'm not that interested in features like WiFi or Bluetooth, I don't mind dumping 100 photos off my SD card, I am more interested in colour reproduction, performance in moderate and low light situations, and how it handles shots with a high dynamic range.
What would you do? Will I see much difference from an upgrade to a Canon 250D with an 8 year old lens?
