Aspiring Park Photographer

No and funny that you speak of this because I just got an email from corporate. Apparently I was enrolled in a vacation buy program that I never elected. I just caught it about three weeks ago and was trying to figure out what it was. Long story short I'm getting about a grand back on my next paycheck. Due do it pretty much being money I never had I'm gonna put half into an IRA or some kind of savings account and then probably treat myself to this.

Anyone have any thoughts on the camera choice? I am looking to upgrade the body only and the digic 5 processor is something I am really leaning towards.

Score!!!! Those are the best kind of surprises.

As for the camera do you plan on selling your old body? Im not super familiar with the Canon cameras so cant really tell you if one is better than the other but if you do decide to sell your body should be able to get a decent amount to help fund the new one. Heck if you planned on spending that amount anyways and sell it then why not look at an even higher model than the T4?

Those are great cameras but not sure if I really need all that. I mean what are the benefits between those and the T4i from a theme park perspective? Most here see what 90% of my photos are and that's what I enjoy. My favorites pictures to take are high speed action shots and night photography. So with that in mind is it worth the extra money to go for the 60d or 7d? I've done very little research so far but know I'm sticking with Canon and I want to upgrade. My current camera is the XS 10.1 MP.

Been looking at a Fisheye or another low light 28-35mm lens actually.

Bag of coal it is By the way did you sell your old one?

Gotcha. For some reason I thought you already had the T3 :bonk: The T4i looks like its perfect for what you are looking for and will be a nice upgrade judging by the specs

Besides the higher resolution you will gain faster frames per second shooting and higher ISO boost both of which will help you with what you are looking for. And its not crazy expensive so that will leave you money to get Briman his xmas gift

A bag of kingsford doesn't cost that much.
