Hi all. I'd welcome your thoughts and any advice on my next purchase. I have only dabbled with photography so far, and I have no intention of making photography my main hobby - I'm a bins and scope first person. However, after dabbling with an entry level canon kit I bought a couple of years ago - 1200d with two kit lenses - I find myself enjoying it and am now tempted to upgrade. Thing is I either upgrade my lens or my body. I cant afford both. My instinct is to go for a new longer lens, either the canon 400mm f5.6 secondhand or a Sigma 150-600mm. Would these be ok with the 1200d? If not which is the next best body to move to? I see so many with a 7d but I really cant justify that sort of price, and then having to buy a longer lens as well at a later date, for what is essentially an add on to my hobby, if you see what I mean.
