Thinking about switching to Canon DSLR… Should I?

Hi everyone,

So because of costs, I've been talked out of getting a full-frame (guess, I'll just save up over the next few years).

But, I feel like crossing the road over to Canon… Any thoughts?

I own a Nikon D5200 with a the 35mm f1.8 Nikkor lens and the Tokina 11-16mm DX II AF lens. I love my D5200, but after seeing Canon cameras in action, I kind of want to switch.

I find the tiny viewfinder on my D5200 annoying (not sure the Canon crop-sensor viewfinders are any better) and the thing is pretty loud. I do a lot of indoor photography at church, so it's bothersome when I try to take a picture of someone praying (more of a "clunk" thank a "snap"). I also find something about Canon image processing to be more aesthetically pleasing, whereas I appreciate the technical specs of my Nikon and the consistency in metering.

Should I sell my stuff and get a Canon 60D? If I do, what lenses would I need to buy to get a similar setup to my current one?

Added (1). Er, meant the Canon 70D
Added (2). Full frame would be nice, but I just don't have $3000 to invest in body and lenses.

What I'm planning to do is sell my current gear and start over with Canon.

Good DSLR for video and stills?

I'm looking for a DSLR that shoots stills and videos, Canon or Nikon - I don't mind- I currently own a D80 and really like it, however it doesn't shoot video…

My budget is around £350 maybe a bit more depending on the camera.

For some reason I really don't like the d3200 so please don't say that! :) thanks:DDD

- Need it for media and want to get into either Photography or video-ography

How to choose my first 50mm lens?

I have my canon eos camera and been using kit lens which is obviously not very good so I decided to buy some affordable 50mm lens.

I'm quite tight on a budget ($100) so I choose between canon EF 50 1.8 and cheaper lenses but with 1.4 aperture like Fujinon, Yashica, Takumar, Pentax though most of them should be used with an adapter which I'll also have to buy.

My questions:

1. Are those minor brands worth attention?
2. What's the best 50mm lens I can have for my money right now?

Thanks everyone

Buying my first DSLR camera? - 1

I want to know the general public's opinion of a quality dslr, without it costing the earth. And I realise investing in great lenses are key as well, so feel free to offer some lens suggestions as well!

My brother has a canon 600d and my sister has the OM-d Em5 (the sexiest of the two, but not sure on quality?)
Added (1). Price range between $500-1000
Added (2). I'm interested in any kind of photography (scenic, portrait, wedding, etc), so should i buy different lenses for different things?

What lens should I choice?

I have an Nikon D800. Even though It's a professional camera, I am novice.
Besides, I have 3 lenses which are 24mm-70mm F/2.8, 70mm-200mm F/2.8 and 35mm F/1.4.

I enjoy large aperture since it could blur background. Although 35mm F/1,4 is professional which I learned from its terrible price, its blurred effect is not what I want.

So which lens should I choose?

ZEISS 50mm F/1.4?
SIGMA 50mm F/1,4?

PS: I felt reluctant if I spend a lot money but got something which I dislike.
