Love those pictures... especially the outdoors ones...
What I like is the crispness of the focus in this lens and then all the blur... really makes the subject stand out!

No matter who I ask the answer is always different I am LOST without my camera right now. Between my 2 legged kiddos and my 4 legged kiddos I always have my camera in my hands.

I don't really do all-around lenses. I change mine constantly and really like primes (which aren't zoom - they're "fixed" at one point). I have a strange assortment of lenses that I change constantly given the application.

The 28-135 is a good one that I know comes as a kit lens on some cameras now. I bought mine years ago and it's served me well. I don't use it much anymore, but I am bringing it to a wedding with me tomorrow!

I'm sure it's rated for many more than that. My 40D stopped focusing and wasn't keeping up. It's rated for 85,000 actuations and I had 90,000. So, at least I got that much out of it.

Another question...
For a good all around lense... what do you use most on your camera?

I've taken at least 20,000 photos with it, so it's a matter of time before the shutter and other parts bite the dust. But as long as it keeps going, I'm going to keep it.

I know way too many people who have been scammed or tried to be upsold... or bait and switched. Only buy from:

B&H Photo
Adorama
(Or, I suppose, Amazon.)

And these are also respectable places:

Calumet in Illinois
Abe's in Maine
Samy's in California

Where do you recommend getting camera and lenses... I have been on the internet all day and there seems to be about as many scammers out there selling cameras as there are selling bulldogs

Julia's right! I got the 50mm f1.8 for Christmas and I love it....

~Kellie and Chloe~

And you have NO need to upgrade! I know plenty of people who still shoot professionally with their 20Ds.

But if you've worn out the shutter like I have on each of mine, well then... LOL

I have an XT (350D), a 40D and a 5D MkII. That's what all my photos that you see are from.

The 40D is a GREAT camera... probably better than the 50D from what I hear. It's just a new version of the 20D and 30D.

Did your lens break too? If you have the 18-55 kit lens or something in that range, it will work on the next body you get. I highly recommend the 50mm f/1.8, but it's not for everyone. You need room to use it. But it's a great buy, and a terrific lens. But it can't be your ONLY lens. You need something else a little more "useful" to serve as an all-around lens.

so, if you got a 40D, you would be way ahead of me, and would probably get it for a fantastic price.

Also... what lens do you recommend?

The 7D sounds pretty cool... The 50D would be the direct replacement for the 30D. You could get a used 40D pretty cheap, too.

You're not going to want to go with much else as it would be a step down from what you have. And you're not going to want to switch to Nikon since you already have Canon glass.
