Re: 600D Lens Progression

This is a really interesting way of looking at it.

On one hand, if I were to go full frame I would need lenses for the camera which is where the 24-70mm and 70-200mm lens come in to it. If I was to stay on a crop sensor I would get the 70-200mm f/4 Non-IS as it is fantastic for long landscape shots, though I wouldn't need the 24-70mm.

I am happy with the shots I am taking just now and certainly see myself sticking with what I have for the next year or so, I just want to have something in mind in terms of saving.

My camera is missing a few featured compared to the 80D though I have yet to run in to any problems with the 600D. I can't fault the picture quality and I can do everything I need to on it. The only thing I have noticed so far is that I can't set the white balance to a specific value though this can be fixed in post as I shoot in RAW. This would only be an issue if I was trying to shoot images with minimal amount of work done in post.

The screen on the top of the camera that the X0D bodies have is nice though hardly essential, and as I don't do sport or wildlife, I wouldn't benefit from the shutter speed and focal points. This may change as I got the 55-250mm lens to try my hand at wildlife and I may enjoy it and want to progress with it, in which case a crop would probably be better as I would get more reach out of lenses.

Edit: here is a photo I took with the IS II kit lens, I since went with the IS STM as it doesn't rotate at the front so helps with filters.
