I use tamron 24 to 200 and find this an all round lens.


I got the impression that, with Canon, the lower the model number the more advanced the camera. I have a 60D and I am happy with it but a FF is in the future. You have a 50D and want a 60D, may I ask why?

Jackinthebox, the 60D replaced the 50D. Now you are partially correct on the lower the number analogy. The less amount of digits the higher end the camera is. For example, what we know here in the USA as the Canon Rebel T1i is in fact the Canon 500D, the T2i is the 550D, etc. These are the "entry level DSLR" and have 3 digits as model designators. The next level of Canons are the 2 digit models: 40D, 50D, 60D, etc... Better body construction, more features, etc; than in the three digit models. Then you have the Prosumer/Professional line which are the single digit models: 7D, 5D Mark XX, 1D Mark XX, etc. Now you start with (except for the 7D which is an APS-C and some of the 1D which are APS-H sized sensors) full framed sensors, better weather resistant, and other features used by professional photographers.

I hope this helps unless I am mistaken. :)

Thanks, I believe you are right about the 3, 2 and single digits. How about the 20,30,40,50,60d Is there a ranking as to quality and/or features. i.e is a 50d a better or more desireable camera than the 60D?

The rest of the question was for the person wanting to trade his 50D for a 60D?

I guess you answered that as well. Myself, I will wait for a Canon look alike Nikon D800.
