I do a lot of travel so mainly travel pics, but also attend alot of sports functions for my nieces and nephews so a faster camera would be nice as well.
Anyone have or play with these 3 models or something else in this range? I also want to recored videos as well, HD would be nice.
Are Tamron lenses ok? The cost on these compared to Nikon or Canon lenses seems really cheap. Thinking about a body, with 2 lenses, not sure which ones, but would like a decent range, flash and tripod.
Any recommendations and suggestions are appreciated. Would like to get in the next few days.
Thanks!
I don't own all experience any of the models above but based on you want to record video, the new T4i combined with their new STM lenses allow continuous AF while shooting video. This could be a big step forward when shooting video compare with previous models (even 5d3 won't support it

).
Control wise, I like the 60D dial just like all the Canon EOS professional models maybe you might want to wait until it replacement which supposed to be out later this year.
