Re: Lenses or body

If second hand is fine, many people are starting to sell their 70Ds due to inevitable price drop once the 80D start to ship out.

You already have a wide selection of lenses, some of the can be improved but I think that the jump from a 500D to a 70D will have much more impact than swapping a zoom.

If you're looking for better image quality, one or 2 primes will deliver that and won't break the bank. On aps-c you can pick the pancake 24mm and 40mm f2.8 primes, and/or the 50mm f1.8 stm, all of which are fairly cheap lenses.

If you could buy a second hand 70D + one or two primes I'm pretty sure you'd be very glad with the results.
