Hi Ty,

I notice you have the following lens:

Canon EFS 18-55 mm lens

Sigma AF 70-300 mm f/4-5.6 DG APO macro lens

Here are some options:

1. Canon T3i/600D body ~$550

2. Canon T5i/700D body ~$749.

I would skip the T4i as it does offer any benefit over one or the other above.

The Canon T3i/600D is an excellent camera update and the T5i/700D has the added convenience of touchscreen.

With what you have left over, why not consider adding a fast prime lens to your system for those night/portrait/landscape shots? You may find that it may end up replacing your kits lens

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II ~$100

Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM ~$399

Canon EF 35mm f/2 $310

Thanks
