I have a canon rebel Xsi and I want to upgrade my camera.?
I have a EF 23=70mm f/2.8L lens. I am not a professional I just enjoy taking pictures. I want to take portrait pictures of my grand kids and outdoor flowers and birds and such. I have looked at canon 7D and 5D mark II. What is the best camera for my needs. I want my pictures to look good.
Probably not what you want to hear, but….IMO, photography is roughly 70% photographer skill/experience, 20% lens quality, and 10% camera body.
The XSi is a decent camera and you have a nice lens on it. What is it that you are not happy with on the photos? Could you post some samples on Flickr or someplace? That way the people here might be able to offer some good advice to help.
Have you taken any photography classes? How long have you been using this camera? On auto or manual?
