i'd certainly be looking at canon 5D and 7D.
 
The 5d mk2 is awesome, the 7d's purely a sports camera. Get a 5d mk3 if you can afford it! :crazy:
Anyone on this thread got any old canon fd lenses? I dug out an old canon A1 and bought an eos lens adapter, a 25yr old 70-210mm works like a dream!
 
got a couple of FD's . had an A1 years ago, but traded for eos when eyesight started to lose it's 20/20.
 
got about 5 eos EF lenses. only got a couple of FD.
 
I think Canon D50 is good to start with.The other big change is the inclusion of a new, high-resolution LCD screen. 920,000 dots mean that it can convey 640 x 480 RGB pixels, making it effectively a VGA standard monitor. Three anti-reflection layers built into the screen do their best to keep it useable in bright conditions, too.
 
I was a pro for a few years about 25 years ago We run a successfull studio specialising in Wedding and commercial work. The key is practice. I used to provide 24- 36 Proofs from a maximum of 4 rolls of film ie 48 shots in all. When i gave up in 1990 to come to Spain I had shot 1011 weddings in all so not a bad bit of experience. I was fu lly insured and was was a member of the British institute of Pro Photographers. BIPP. which is a recognised qualifing body. My qualifications at the time were ABIPP AMPA , FRSA, We won the industrial photograper of the year award in 1987 and came second in the wedding section for 3 years in a row. I hate digital cameras but see there place. Give me 6x6cm and a weston meter anyday. Natural light in natural surroundings using reflectors and available light will give brilliant results for children. For babies paint yourself a couple of nice soft old master type backgounds and get a couple of mains flash units with softboxes. plenty of props Keep it soft, for practice get a cheap skylight filter for the camera and dot it with drops of clear nail varnish and see the results, you can make 2 or three with different amounts of nails varnish this will give you the effect of using the famous Softar 1-2-3 filters. if i can help further just give me a shout
