Firstly apologies if it was suppose to be posted else where. I tried searching the 7D page but got a whole load of sales thread instead. Ok here I go. I'm pretty much set on getting a 7D with a Tammy 17-50mm VC lens and a Canon 50mm F1.4. My question is should I go for a 2nd hand 7D or a first? The way used my previous cam(550D) is I take 4 to 5 shots at a time of the same thing and chose the best and delete the rest.
My tear in head is weather the $600 difference is well worth warranty and the 0 shutter count. I seen the Canon price list CP-M selling at $1990 while 2nd hand it's averagely about $1300.
2nd question I'm posting is should I get the EOS M for my darling. I not planning to let her use the 7D as when she used my old 550D with tammy 17 - 50mm non vc she already complain big and heavy. As we both can share the same lens and I can use it as a 2nd body for my walk around shots when she not using it. The creative filters and ease of use is great for her. I know the auto focus is slow. That's why I'm waiting to see if the firmware update helps. I'm in no rush to get her the cam yet.
The lens I'm ok with going for 2nd hand. As I see warranty for lens is a secondary option. If it's with in my budget I would go for the Canon 17-55mm and 50mm F1.4.
