here's my situation, I FINALLY have a tripod and ready to try a sunrise at cape may, except, I have 2 bodies, the IIn and the 30 D (1.3 and a crop).
Both are suffering from dust bunnies, and I have been rather neglectful about sensor cleaning, due to fright. I wanted to take the bodies to canon for sensor cleaning, but had no time (I am close enough to canon NJ for a personal trip, but not that close and had many problems with freeing up enough time for the drive down to Jamesburg). So now I have to clean them myself for the first time ever, and I am really nervous. I have the pec pads by photographic solutions.
I'm thinking about doing the 30D first, only because if I mess up, well - it's a crop camera and replaceable and those bodies come and go. The IIn is tremendously harder for me to replace.
So for landscapes, is that crop factor a big difference for what I am wanting to do? Is taking the 30d enough? I do have a 16-35 II, but of course, can't be used on the 30d........if the 16-35 is going to be reallllllly critical for a sunrise at the beach, I guess I have to deal with the dust on the IIn, but would prefer not to have to do it........I know I have to learn it sooner or later, but it doesn't take away this huge fear of really messing up the camera..........
what do you guys think?
