Right. So I did end up getting myself Canon's budget model 1000D. I must say I am quite impressed with it so far. Not pro quality, but for what I want it for, great! The reviews on the 'net are comforting.
Now onto glass: I have been told before that the lens is more important than the body. I also read somewhere someone saying "that would be like strapping a 70-200 2.8 on a 1000D!"
Well, that's pretty much what I want to do.
I have seen second hand deals on Canon's 70-200 f2.8 going for around the 500-600 euro mark. Not IS however. Is IS important in a lens that big?
I also see Sigma has a 70-200 2.8 lens for half the price. What is the quality like in aftermarket lenses?
