I've always been under the impression that replacing a lens is better than a camera body. Well, in researching my interest in purchasing a Canon 70-300mm Nano lens, I've been told that replacing my camera body (a T2i) would be the wise thing to do. I have never really felt that my T2i has fallen short for me. So this suggestion caught me a bit off guard.

Does this Nano lens technology require more than my T2i is capable of? I'm sure that my T2i is considered rather "ancient" by now. But is it not capable of handling certain lenses because of that?

Your comments are anxiously awaited.

Thanks,

Bob

i'm still with a 550D (T2i) as well. The new 77D is the first new camera that I have been considering upgrading to. Digital horizon, some higher resolution (you can crop a bit more), better DR, AF with f8 (i.e. you can use a 1.4x teleconverter with an f5.6 lens). Flip and touchscreen probably handy for macro.

But so far, the 550D is fine.
