Hi guys,
I've tried using the search function to find answers, but I think it hates me :C
I then tried reading through many of the thread on here, but have found it all rather confusing and over my head. Instead I have decided to ask for your help please!
I am a freelance artist who paints mostly pets and people. My old camera is a Fuji Finepix S 5000 that I've had for about 8 years now, and was my first digital because I loved my old trusty. It has been fine for portrait shots, family dos and all that, but the time lag from click to actual shot taken is lllooooonnngggggg! I can sometimes get much better pics with my phone.
Anyway, I have a love of birds and this old thing is next to useless unless said birdy is asleep and going nowhere. So it's time for an upgrade.
I want something that takes the picture as I press the button (near as damn it) can do film, can take continuous shots (the above only does 5 in a row I think), and is good at getting really good detail study for painting (and I am aware that my ability plays a part in that too), and that I can get BIF pics with.
My budget isn't huge, and I have been reading about the Canon 7d with various lens attachments which seem rather pricey. Any ideas guys? All would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Suzanne
