Hello all,
I recently posted a question about selling my EOS 10D with 28-135. I've had this thought in my mind for a while and figured I'd ask other photographers.
I have a seven year old daughter (eight in January). I'm currently not with her as I'm at Osan AB, Korea and will return in December.
If I work with her closely supervised, would the 10D with 28-135 be a good camera for her to start out taking pictures?
Or, would it be wise to hold onto the camera until she's a good age to use that camera and get her a simpler camera to use?
If I hold onto it, whats a good age to let her use it?
This camera is basically new, I bought it in 2003 and have less than 5000 shots, I bought a G5 at the same time for the wife and wound up using it for everything as I was first starting out with DSLRs. I now have a 40D and 7D along with the 10D.
My thought on selling the 10D and the 40D with the 28-135 lenses is to put the funds towards additional lenses or equipment.
What I have:
Canon 7D
Canon 40D Gripped
Canon 10D
Canon 70-200IS 2.8
Canon 17-55IS 2.8
Canon 60 Macro
Sigma 30 1.4
Canon 28-135
Canon 28-135 Never used (came with 7D)
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Mike
