Over the past year and a half I've been getting into digital photography. First, I picked up a canon G9 to see how I got on with that. I then progressed to a canon 450d and have the following lenses for it.
kit 18-55 IS
ef-s 55-250
50 1.8
I've been thinking about my next purchases and what lenses I would like. One aspect I'm missing is a wide angle lens and the ef-s 10-22 looks great. Also the ef-s 17-55 2.8 IS USM has caught my eye as it has almost exactly the same focal length as the kit lens (which I find useful) but would be a step up in many ways. The final piece of my jigsaw would be to replace the 55-250 with a better lens and I've been looking at the 70-200 2.8 IS.
This has got me thinking about future body upgrades and I guess the big question - whether I will ever want to go full frame. The two ef-s lenses mentioned above are pretty pricey and would not be compatible with one of canon's full frame bodies (EF only). An obvious body upgrade would be the 50D (or its equivalent in a few years). I guess where I'm going with this is how much of a jump is it from say the 50D to the 5D. Should the 50D be enough of a body or will I be left wanting a 5D and then either not making the upgrade because of the ef-s lenses I've bought, or buying the 5D and selling the ef-s lenses and wishing I'd have bought differently.
Any opinions and personal experiences welcome...
