Just out of curiosity, is this guy full of shit?

The lens is not even a year old. As a professional photographer it was my first lens and has been a treasure… It is THE workhorse lens for Canon Pro/Semi Pro photographers and creates utterly gorgeous photos and video.

Lens comes with a $100.00 Tiffen 77mm Digital HT (High Transmission) Haze 86 Multi-Coated Glass Filter. In addition, prior to selling I have had it looked over by Panorama Camera of NYC to which I paid $400.00 to make sure it’s in optimal shape. For reference this lens would cost $1400.00 (tax not included) at BH Photo Video with the 77mm Digital Filter.

Do I keep this 7D or not? v. 7D or XSI good 2024.

Do I keep this 7D or not? v. 7D or XSI good ، Do I keep this 7D or not? v. 7D or XSI good

First off, I don’t really do much photography stuff. I take a lot of pictures for my business, but haven’t ventured out into the world of photography a whole lot. I have a XSI right now with a Speedlite 380 Flash. The other day, I was looking through a manifest of goods that I was about to receive, and noticed a 7D. Normally, if I get cameras at all I get point and shoot, or some lower end SLR (hence my XSI). Of course, I was ready to dig thought my shipment to find it, because I decided to upgrade myself from the XSI.

I have taken 15-20 pictures with it. I am awful when it comes to settings on SLR’s, but throwing the 7D into CA mode is producing some sweet pictures vs my XSI (also, the 125mm vs the 55mm XSI kit job). The lighting and all are perfect vs my XSI with the 380. I just am trying to decide if this is overkill for what I would use it for?

If I keep this camera, most of it’s life, it would be used for taking pictures of items you would see in a best buy ad, heavy machinery, and medical equipment. I might get into taking random pictures at events, and would love to, but I am pretty noobish when it comes to SLR’s and want to make sure that there really is a difference in the images this camera produces vs my XSI for what I would use it for. If there is, and it has a better auto detection mode or something, then it would definitely be worth keeping to me, but I don’t want my mind to be telling me there’s a huge difference, and there really isn’t.

Keep the 7D and roll with it on CA/Auto mode most of it’s life, or stick with my XSI on auto?
