I'm going to see Taylor Swift in about a month. I'm sitting kind of far off so I need to know what to look for in a camera lens so I can buy a new one. The one that came with my camera is okay but I'd like a better one.

I have a canon rebel t2i - I'm hoping to stay pretty cheep, maybe under $200 if at all possible.



Answer
The first thing to do is contact the venue where the concert is being held. You will probably be told that you can not bring your camera in. Most venues will only allow P&S cameras NOT a DSLR.

IF you can bring your camera, you could try the 75-300mm f/4-5.6, but you will need to use a high ISO (which will introduce noise) and/or a slower shutter speed (will blur movement). When I am shooting concerts, the slowest lens I use is a f/2.8 (the lower the f/stop number, the "faster" it is).

What is the best zoom lens for canon EOS 50D?

I don't have enough knowledge about camera lens. I just bought a new canon camera EOS 50D. I am also planning to buy zoom lens but I have no idea what is the best lens for EOS 50D. Your recommendation is highly appreciated. Thank you.


Answer
For the 50D you will need a 'good' lens if you want excellent image quality. A cheap telephoto lens is not a good idea for a camera like this, so don't even think about getting a budget one that only costs a couple of hundred dollars or so, because it won't deliver on image quality and will not be good enough for lower lighting. One with a wider (faster) aperture of f/2.8 is an excellent choice.

From the Canon lens/camera review site below (of the 50D)...
"Because the quality of the lens makes a big difference in the image quality delivered by a DSLR - especially one with the resolution of the 50D, I recommend buying (now or later), one of the better Canon general purpose lenses available. At this review date, the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens is my most-recommended 1.6x lens with the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens and the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM Lens being excellent alternatives."

Another excellent lens with a longer starting focal length is the EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L, with or without IS or the f/4 version with or without IS.
