7D or 5D? THAT is the question….

Well after taking much advice from people on forums and the guy in the camera shop I finally went for the Canon 60D. I just thought in the end that for my purposes it made sense to save a few pennies and get that articulated screen too, I think it’s going to be a lifesaver!

I got the camera, a nice Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 VC lens, Manfrotto tripod and head, Lowepro bag, 32gb of storage and a spare battery for £1,460. The 7D body alone was £1,250 so I reckon i’ve made the right choice. I’m really chuffed with it.

Add to that the 50mm prime, 28-50mm, 42-75mm and 80-200mm Yashica lenses I just bought for £30 (with classic Yashica FX-2 camera) i’m pretty well placed to get some nice footage.
