I was just after some advice and ideas as to my next camera upgrade and future lens choices.
My current setup is a Canon 40D with the 400mm f5.6 fixed prime. I absolutely love this lens and intend on keeping it for a long time. I wouldn't mind a lens with a bit more reach so I'm eyeing up either the Tamron 150-600 or Sigma 150-600mm but that's for a later date.
I would like to upgrade the 40D to a body with a bit more modern tech. I really like the 40D and it has been my first DSLR which has served me well but I've discovered I need higher ISO performance as the 40D only goes up to 1600. I'm looking at upgrading to either the 7D or 70D for the faster focusing system etc but can't decide which one to get. I have considered full frame but I'm finding them too expensive to consider.
With the 7D I can pick one up used for much cheaper so it's a no brainer, except I'm also thinking of buying the Tamron 150-600mm in the future and I keep reading about the issues with this lens and camera, whereas the 70D appears to work well with the Tamron. I'd also consider the new Sigma 150-600mm so I'm willing to wait. I'm in no rush to buy a new lens, I'd just like to buy a newer body and I'm reading that there isn't much difference between the 7D and 70D. The 7D2 is out of my budget unless I don't want to buy a lens in the future.
Which body would be best?
Thanks
