So. After shooting a show last night with my Nikon, I am seriously considering selling it.

I have gotten used to my Canon 60D, especially with the 70-200 f/2.8 USM II lens. That lens alone is a piece of fantastic work, holy cats. I think I might just save up some money, bit my bit, sell my Nikon and Equipment (I can get at least $1200 for the camera and two lenses.) Sell my SB700.

With selling those, I could get half way to the Mark III, if I sell my Canon 60D I would be even closer. I have some time, but right now I will probably put some money away, or at least try, and have the 5D Mark III as my end goal…

I just had someone offer my cash for my 70-200 2.8 lens. lkasjdlfkjaslfk. What am I supposed to do? I mean, cash would be great, but I love that bloody fucking thing. Aaagh. I almost want to upgrade 100% to Canon, though, so I don’t know what I want to do or anything. I would really, really like the 5D Mark II, though. But. I. Just. Don’t. Know.

So, for various reasons I am keeping the Canon 60D, with the 70-200mm lens. I am playing around with it, and I am just really amazed.

The first thing I notice, is that over my D7000, this camera is a whole lot heavier. Considering that I cannot handle much weight in my hand after my accident, this isn’t a good thing. It is heavier, heftier, and with the lens, I am sure that with a strong enough hit, I could kill someone.

I checked out a 50mm f/1.2 from the cage, mainly because it is significantly smaller than the 70-200, because learning how to use a canon with a lens bigger than my forearm was just no good. I am going to attempt to save up some money to buy a regular 50mm f/1.8, just like the one I almost always use with my Nikon.

So far my favorite part is the swivel screen and the spinning dial, however, I hate how the on and off switch is on the left, the on/off on a Nikon is much better designed, and the dial is weird. Why the fuck is shutter priority “Tv” mode? On a nikon is is “S” which makes much, much more sense.

So far I am liking the camera, but I need to play with it more, a lot more.

Camera Suggestions

In the American Photography contest, I won a Canon 60D with a EF 70–200mm f/2.8L IS II USM telephoto zoom lens. The lens alone is fantastic, paired with a camera that almost matches my Nikon D7000, well, that is a winner.

Here is my idea. I want to sell the camera and lens, and buy the Nikon D800 with the money from those two. However, the more I research the lens and the canon, I am thinking that I might want to keep it, just so I can learn actively both systems. But I already have lots of Nikon things, and I really want a full frame camera. So tumblr followers, if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them.

I feel bad that I am looking for a new camera,

even though I love my Nikon D7000, I really want the Canon EOS 5d Mark II. Mainly, I want a full frame camera.
