I currently have an 8MP Canon Digital Rebel XT with a a few good lenses. I am looking to upgrade to better Canon camera. What is a good choice? I don’t really want to spend that much money so I was thinking about getting a used XTi body only. I was thinking that I needed something with more MP in order to shoot basketball games and football games and whatnot. Is the 10MP really a big difference over 8MP? Is shelling out $400-$500 for an XTi a good investment, or should I save up more for something better?

I’m a photographer for my college newspaper and I shoot on my own as well. I shoot sports games a lot also.

Thanks!
**I currently use a Canon 70-200 mm f/4 L-Series IS USM Lens to shoot sports.

To be honest with you the extra two mega pixels will make virtually no difference at all. You certainly would not be able to see a difference unless you were routinely doing large posters. Even then it would be minimal. If you were to upgrade I would say you should upgrade to the 40D or 50D. These are more robust cameras and the higher frames per second could be useful for sports. They also have much better performance at higher ISO’s. Other than that I would say you should put your money into a really nice fast lens like the 70-200 F2.8L. This is probably the best lens you can have for sports. It is especially good for basketball and other indoor sports. It might be a bit short for football games but unless you have $5,000 or more for a larger lens it is still your best option.

I want to upgrade to a lense that has a better zoom yet can still offer wide format shots. Does anyone suggest a lense that will be a good upgrade yet still cost effective?

Also, I need to upgrade the flash, does anyone know a good cheap flash that iwll work well with this camera? I’m a NEWB when it comes to photography and such, thanks in advance.

I’m guessing that 18mm at the wide end is sufficient and that you only need more zoom range at the tele side. I’m also guessing that you’re on a bit of a budget.
Canon has a nice 28-200mm zoom, but you’d effectively loose wide angle coverage. They also have a great 17-85mm zoom. This is a fantastic walk round lens but is costs $500. So you could look into the Sigma 18-125mm zoom for $280 or the Sigma / Tamron 18-200mm lenses for around $385. These are upgrades in terms of zoom range but not in terms of image quality. You could also hold on to the 18-55mm kit lens and add a Canon 55-200mm zoom for just $200.
With regard to the flash, any external unit would be an improvement if you currently rely on the pop-up flash. Here I would stick with Canon. Have a look at their 220EX Speedlite for $115.

I’m considering the purchase of a Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR Camera. I’m told that the sensor will require periodic cleaning.
Can anyone tell me how frequently the sensor might have to be cleaned and about how much the cleaning will cost?
I’m far from being a camera expert, so any other advice would be very welcome too.
Thanks

Hey, if your heart is set on a digital SLR, more power to you! The Rebel XT or XTi is a great camera that’s easy to use in automatic modes, but very flexible. You won’t soon outgrow it.

When I first got my DSLR, I had to clean the sensor twice in the first month. Since then, (3 years ago) it hasn’t needed it at all. If you observe care when you change lenses, then you and most photographers will be just fine.

1. Don’t change lenses too often. I purchased a Nikon 18-200mm VR lens for myself, just so I could keep the same lens on for virtually all situations. (Though I do changes lenses when the occasion requires)

2. When you do change lenses, do it in as dustfree an environment as possible. Obviously, you avoid doing this on windy days at the beach!

3. When you change lenses, first remove the rear lenscap from the lens. This gets it ready for a quick mount on the camera body.

4. Remove the previous lens with the camera body facing down. Dust likes to fall into camera bodies that are open and vulnerable.

5. Mount the new lens, with the body still facing downward.

6. Cap the rear of the previous lens with the protective rear lenscap as quickly as possible and put it in your camera bag.

Practice this at home. I recommend that you do it while watching tv. You should be able to do it without looking! (Hey, if I can do it with diaper-changing, than anyone can do it with lenses. lol)

Sensor cleaning products are out there, but it’s not as prevalent a problem as some make it to be. Here’s an informative article for you. If you have any more questions, please just ask!
