This should probably be under the classified section. Good luck with your sale.

Look at the 70D. I shoot with it and although still a crop sensor, it has a 19 point focus and 7 fps. I shoot with the canon 70-200 2.8 IS. A great combo for action. You also need a card that can handle that kind of data transfer.

The Sigma 17-50mm 2.8 lens I would highly recommend.

I own the Tamron 17 - 50 mm (VC VERSION) and I'm very happy with it. Both tamron and sigma make great 3rd party lenses for a lot less money. Try rentals first to compare and see what you like. Www.borrowlenses.com is a good place to start. Good luck!

What are you asking for the 100-400? And what do you think the click count is on it?

One other thing to consider. How steady are you when hand holding a 200mm lens. If you have a 200mm lens and have no problems with camera shake you probably don't need IS. If not maybe you can rent or borrow one for a test shoot to find out. One other thing having nothing to do with photography. Your signature T.O.D. Are you aware that TOD is a medical acronym for time of death ?
That does depend on what shutter speed you are shooting at at 200mm (300 or 320mm crop). I try to use an object (tree, fence, etc.) and the IS. It's all about how crisp you want your shot.

I did this debate (and research) about 6 months ago, as I was in the market for a 70-200mm f2.8 lens. My conclusion was the Canon f/2.8 WITH IS.
1) you will wish you went with the f2.8 over the f4, the very 1st time you do not have enough light for the arena you are working. Wider aperture is always better, if you can get it.
2) The IS is expensive compared to the non-is version, however, to be able to hand hold in certain situations where you either cannot have or do not have your tri/bi-pod with you is priceless! Also, remember, you should at least double the focal length in shutter speed to get a clear shot (hand held). Hard to do in lower light situations.
3) The Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM also has an IS feature when following a subject in motion. It basically locks in vertically while panning horizontally with IS or vise-versa.
I did my homework for about a month before my purchase of the IS version, I am happy and content with the extra money spent. I have NEEDED both the IS and the 2.8 numerous times. IMO, the 2.8 vs. the 4 is a no brainer. Only you and your knowledge of what you will be shooting and where, can answer the question of to IS or not to IS! Good luck!

In my opinion the price straight away should tell you all you need to know. How does the lower priced company get to that price? Cheaper glass? Cheaper components? Regardless of who's making it there's no such thing as cheap quality, never has been never will be.

I rented both the tamron and the canon (both 2.8 with IS (VC on tamron). I bought the canon after the test because of the tack sharp picture and fast focus. As stated by someone else in this post, if you are planning on selling your work imo, the canon is the way to go.

I would also advise to buy Lee instead of Cokin.
Cokin have a colour cast.
P is not big enough for wide angle 77mm. You need Z.

I only put LEE filters in front of my lenses. The polarizer was $300 but it is still tack sharp in front of my $2500 Canon 70-200mm L IS USM. Remember, you get what you pay for!
