Would any Canon afficionado be able to assist me? I need to update my camera, and I will be staying with Canon as my lenses are all that make (28-135 mm, 50 mm and 18-55 mm). My present camera is a Canon DSLR 300D, and it’s twelve years old. I would appreciate some advice on the best model to get, and whether it would be a good idea to buy secondhand.

Many thanks,Sheila

Hey there.

Between Canon EOS SL2 / 200D, EOS M50, 800D, 77D and 80D worth mentioning, I would think twice about your lenses.

The sensor technology moved on quite a bit, and some of your lenses might not be able to support the image quality which this sensor can achieve.

Especially original 18-55 is pathetic by todays measures. You would really appreciate getting newest, or second-newest 18-55, Not only it is stabilized, it is much sharper.

The 50mm f/1.8 also got "a bump", and I don´t know personally about 28-135.

Yes, it might get expensive, but good compromise needs to be done.

For EOS M50 - normal EF-S lenses will not fit without adapter, and I highly recommend use equivalent native lenses if these exist (depends on lens model).

For any choice you do (from mentioned camera models), the jump will be quite significant.
