Wow. Fuck yes dude, thanks a lot for this! At first I was just debating on the t2i and the 7D because that's what some of my friends use and those are the ones I could've got more info from, but since you've mentioned the 60d, then I'll look into it too. And people I know that are into photography told me kinda the same thing you just said about lenses lol They told me that a pretty big percentage of the quality in a picture is mainly due to the lens, and the rest is from the quality of the camera itself and stuff. I don't know if this is true, but whatever haha.

The main reason I was looking into t2i was because as I was watching skate videos on youtube, and some dude had an amazing quality and asked him what camera he uses, and he said he was using the t2i with some lens I can't remember. I was considering the 7D because of it's fps and other features that were better than the t2i. I'll have to look more into the 60d though, because I want a camera that can shoot decent photos and also film HD.

Anyways, thanks a ton for the advice and everything dude, I really appreciate it. I'll definitely consider the 60d and that 50mm prime lens w/ 1.8 fstop haha

yeah, the t2i, 60d, and 7d all have the same sensors and the same fps settings. But as far as all the other settings the t2i is lacking. But I've seen some amazing videos shot on the t2i, so it's all about working with what you got. The main difference that I know of between the 60d and 7d is that the 7d has a faster motor for shooting photo sequences. The 7d can do 7 frames a second where the 60d can shoot 5. And the 7d body stronger and more weather proof, but the 60d is still pretty rugged compared to the plastic t2i. The main sell for me with the 60d was the flipscreen (and that it was $600 cheaper then the 7d). Now that I'm used to it's flip screen, I don't know how I'd live without it. There is also a new Rebel3 Canon that has a flipscreen, but it's still a pretty cheap camera aside from that.

Just whatever you do DON'T BUY THE KIT LENS! I can't stress that enough.

Yeah I was looking into differences between those 3 cameras yesterday lol I'm really looking into the 60d though, because from what I've read, it's smack in between the t2i and the 7d in terms of many things, and the price is affordable for both the t2i and 60d, but the 60d seems better, so I'll go with that most likely.

And for the lens, I've searched on ebay and already made a bid on a 50mm prime f/1.8 If I do end up winning the auction with the price I've bid on, I would get the lens itself for 35$ US + about 25$ shipping & handling, so about 60$ US for the lens lol The auction says the lens is in mint condition, so seems good enough haha I just hope I'll get it, would be sick.

Sick! Seriously, you could have done slo-mo kickturns with an edit like that. Slo-mo is ridiculous.

[Boxerman08]

Yo bullet, just wanted to say I've got a sick deal (I think) for that lens you were talking to me about. RIght after you mentioned the 60D with that lens, I started doing some research, and went on ebay. Off ebay, I got a "CANON FD 50mm f/1:1.8 .Prime Fast Lens SLR Film *MINT*" for 35$US + about 25$ shipping and handling, so that lens will cost me like less than 60$ haha I think it was a good deal, so I got it. All I have left to do now is get the 60d body, and I'm set Thanks again for the advice dude, I greatly appreciate it!

I might be wrong, but I think...FD lenses are made for super old cameras, and it might not fit on your body. But you can get adaptors for them for like 30 bucks or something so that it will fit. I might be wrong, but maybe look into it. SLR is different from DSLR, just so you know. 60d is a DSLR. But yeah, worst case scenario, you just get the adaptor and the lens should still work fine.

[Boxerman08]

FUCK! This pisses me off so much. I hope it fits... Now I'm starting to regret the fact I just bought this lol Wasn't such a good deal afterall... I honestly hope you're wrong though, Hopefully it'll be fine as is... Just got my hopes up high for nothing haha Fuck my life

Edit: Here's what I bought. Shows the lens with pictures and everything. CANON FD 50mm f/1:1.8 .Prime Fast Lens SLR Film *MINT*

2nd edit: Is this what I need if I have to get an adapter? Lens Adapter (sorry to bother you with this kind of shit haha :/ )

[thebullet]

sorry man, but you did get an FD lens and it probably won't fit But don't worry, it's not like you just dropped hundreds of dollars or anything. If I was you I'd try to get rid of that FD lens because the picture won't be as sharp. But if you do decide to keep it, this is what you'll need (the lens adaptor link you posted won't work) http://cgi.ebay.com/CANON-FD-Lens-EO...item335df8345b
