I bought the C5i. I like to stick to a certain budget and I set it to 150 euro max. This is due to the fact that I have an EM1.2 which has great stabilisation and I only use a tripod for Hires mode. I used to use a 100 euro Manfrotto and it already gave me perfectly sharp shots, but it failed after 4 yrs. I did not like how it functioned. I tried out various versions of this C5i in several shops and at least it seems to be a whole lot better with a much better ballhead etc.

If this one failes I will buy one that is much better if so. But with the pretty occasional use I have for it (like now, shooting at night for 1-10 second exposures0) I hope it suffices.

I was using the C4i and replaced it with the Siruii T-1205X w/ K10 ball head. Not entirely sure the Sirui is better that the C4i (the ball head is very good) but it certainly is easier to carry. I got a good deal but it is more than you budget.
