At the beginning again.
OK...
I am looking for some advice here.
First off, I already own a Canon EOS 1V-HS with a Tamron 28-105 2.8 LD, it is what I shoot with 90% of the time. I love it, but I think it is a little big for me. Things I like about it: Bomb proof, weather resistent, great metering and other features, possible L glass upgrades. I also have a GSN and a (yet to be recieved) QL17.
I mainly enjoy travel photography, street, and available light, with the odd landscape thrown in. I don't do macro work per se, but often like to fill the frame (or part of it) with things close to the lens.
Things that are important to me in a camera: Ease of use (after a learning curve of course), inconspicuity (not a word, but you get my drift), weight/size for hiking and generall taking with me everywhere, toughness (I am tough on my stuff and like to travel to rough areas) and most imporantly, image quality.
I shoot slides and am getting back into B&W.
So, should I sell the 1V? Trade it for an rf? What rf should I get? I am by no means indepandantly wealthy, but I can begin to save and be content with what I have for now. I don't want to have to buy another camera, after either. I want something that will last as long as I do.
So what would people here think? What should I estimate for a system to cover my needs? Which system would it be? Any help would be most appreciated.
