upgrade advice?

Warman · 22nd of March 2004 (Mon)

I have been wanting to do an upgrade in telephoto lens that would cost me about 200€ but at the same time i think that it would be nice to have an A60 just to carry arround in my pocket all the time and that would cost me 175€. If you were me what would you get?

Depends on how much of a telephoto upgrade you're talking. I have the Crystalvue LX and the Canon 1.75x. Those are plenty for me. Plus, I too have been thinking about getting a more everyday carryable camera (such as the A60). So I guess to answer what your asking, if I were you, I'd get the 2nd camera.

You know, I really shouldn't understand this question as posted, but strangely enough, I do. It's a camera addiction thing.

Honestly though, the only person that can answer this question correctly is YOU. You have to ask yourself which item you'll get the most use from.

You are trying to dance at more than one wedding at the same time

That won´t work

If i were you... i would make up my mind and decide myself for one of the cameras (G3 or G5) as you´ve been asking in another thread. 8)

Not realy. I do have a G5, i mean i actualy own one and what i was asking on the other thread is the opinions of people of trading a G5 for a G3 and pay 100 € for that trade.
Regardless the G5/3 is too cumbersome to carry everywhere and so i would benefit from a more compact model. But i have been needing telefoto for some time now. I ask advice in choosing between an A60 and a telefoto lens.
