I want a digital camera. I've been shooting with various dlsrs and rangefinders for a few years, but a digital camera would be useful.

First thought is to, for now atleast, cop a cheaper oldish body and a nice lens. I'd probably want a 50mm 1.8 or 1.4. I'm not sure about the body though. I know I've liked Canons more from all the cameras I've played with.

Would a 20D be passable now? The only thing stopping me from copping that is that I read that it doesn't perform all too well at higher ISO settings and I tend to shoot in low-light a lot. Should I get something newer? I'd like to spend 200-300 on the body for now and spend some on some nice glass.

thanks bros

what is your budget?

I'd like to spend like sub 500 for the body to be honest. I can cop a dope full frame later.

also d80, maybe find a d90 used (which would blow a 30d out of water) I know you said Canon, but I thought i'd throw that out there. also check out the olympus ep-1 . It has pretty good reviews and takes really good pics.

taken with a 5D Mark II @ 3200 ISO, no processing. For image quality, especially in print I have a hard time imagining anything worse than a 7D faring well in lower light/night time no flash. Like FabGeek said, Nikon may be a safer bet in the budget range...

I'm pretty sure I'm just going to cop a 30D and a 50mm f1.4. Then, cop a 7D or something in a year or so.

Sigma 30mm 1.4 is the GOAT lens for any crop sensor camera.
