Well, before I buy any lenses I'll read popes lens write up!


 Always buy used, always buy quality, very difficult to lose money that way.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Black Friday wont affect the used market...right Bean?

Im really enjoying this 60d... I do think its big and heavy... especially with that 18-200 on it... but I imagine I could get used to it...

Put one of these on it and you'll hardly know you are carrying it. I will never go back to the stock neck strap. This is da bomb. I use it with the 7D with t 70-200 2.8 attached. No problem at all

Meh. It depends on how hard you drive a bargain. Personally, when I'm pricing something to sell on the used market, one factor I look at is what a product costs new. I just would be leery of buying from a professional photographer. They abuse their gear.  I've looked in their bag a few times and been like wwww :puke:

For my photography I prefer a bigger and heavier camera. I am far more steady with them than I am the smaller T series cameras. I have used my Daughters' T series cameras quite a bit and my success rate was terrible compared to my Canon 7D and my Canon 5D Mark II. I had a lot of fuzzy shots with the T series because of camera shake and movement on my end of the camera.

If you keep your eyes peeled, you can pickup some awesome deals on lightly used cameras and gear. Of course, you have to stay current on what the gear is worth. Last fall I spotted a fantastic deal on my newest camera, a Canon 5D Mark II complete with a Canon flash, flash cards, a 24-105 L series lens, battery pack with 4 batteries and a Pelican carry case. The camera had 800 clicks on the shutter. The guy was selling the whole kit because he couldn't figure out the controls, so he just wanted to buy a point and shoot camera. I got the whole kit and kaboodle for $2,000. :)

Sure, it's a heavy camera. So is my Canon 7D. But with the right camera strap I have Zero problems packing both of them at once when I'm out taking photos. I wear a camera harness that holds one camera on each side of my body. It equalizes the weight out so that my shoulders and back are supporting the weight, but the cameras are hanging free and handy for me to swing them up and use them. :)



My wife shoots with a Canon 7D and lenses up to 300mm., so I bought her a harness that supports only 1 camera and lens. She loves it and says it is far easier on her neck and shoulders. :)
