[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 613208, member: 13090"] Canon's SL1 is an entirely capable, albeit entry-level, DSLR. That being said the Canon 50mm f/1.8 you have is a totally killer prime (the newer stepper-motor version is even better). I would use that lens to benchmark what the SL1 body itself is capable of. Conversely, if you want more [I]features[/I] (e.g. more focus points, more frames-per-second, less menu-diving) then you'll need to upgrade the body. If I were in your shoes, and wanted to keep to the Canon line, I'd probably be looking at a something like the 7DMKII, or better. That's a fairly big jump but I don't see the point, really, in upgrading my camera body if I'm not roughly doubling what I have currently. That's a fairly subjective thing but I don't feel like splitting hairs. Much of this comes down to how far you want to take this as your hobby and, of course, how much you have to spend.
