7d or 70d = 100d

Hi All,

My last post was a question to all members about the better choice between a 70d and an aging 7d dslr. I got some very good advice and was pointed to some sites that compared both very thoroughly. But i guess what we plan is sometimes very different from what will happen. A recent operation on my knee and the need to reduce the weight i can carry for travelling made me re-evaluate my real needs. I still want a 7d(now a 7d2) and/or a 70d(or 80d) but i have come to the conclusion that a 100d will suit me just fine. So with the recent price drop of the 100d i took the plunge and bought the package with 18-55 IS plus an EF-S 24 2.8 lens. I've been testing it for a few weeks now and i can honestly say that it is adequate for my needs. Pairing it with the 55-200 STM and the 10-22 makes for a very light package for my upcoming trip to Europe. I'm not ruling out buying another more sports oriented/capable dslr but for my everyday cam the 100d suits me perfectly. I just wanted to share my situation and hope this helps someone who is in the same situation i am. Thanks for listening.
