ctwatkins Senior Member  529 posts Likes: 12 Joined Dec 2011 Location: Bluegrass State More info | Jan 30, 2013 16:02 | #16 Another vote for 40D - just picked up a mint gripped copy for $340 for my 14 year old daughter who has taken an interest in the hobby. Not quite as many bells and whistles as a newer Rebel, but a much sturdier build (which is a plus IMO for a teenager who may not be as careful with it) and fewer functions (bells and whistles) to learn to use. Gear: 5D MKIII * 6D * 35L (1.4) * 135L (2.0) * 24 - 70L (2.8II) * 70 - 200L (2.8ISII) * 200L (2.0IS) * 580 EX * Induro CT213 * PCB AB B800 (X3) * Pocketwizard Plus

Jan 30, 2013 17:57 | #19 The school near here still uses their old 1dsmkiii's. Because of budget cut they won't be upgrading soon as they feel these should hold out a couple more years. Parents are upset,and rightly so,
