Or by all means if you have another suggestion (Nikon or otherwise) suggest that to me as well.
I have been shooting portraits for the last two and a half years and have very much outgrown my Canon Rebel XT that I bought over three years ago I think! I've been shooting with a 50mm lens for portraits because I love the easy DOF it creates.
I so need to upgrade my camera for my portrait work... but I've also wanted to start getting into videography as well. For now I'd just be doing little projects, nothing too advanced, but which of these cameras, or any on the market (within this level range and price range) are best for video?
And which are best for portraits?
Or - what camera body do you suggest with a specific lens to serve my purposes?
Thanks so much for any suggestions.
Answer
The price should give you an idea that the 5D MkII is probably going to be a better body in a few areas. One thing I would say is that your 50mm lens won't really be a portrait lens on the 5D (it's a full frame camera so you'll probably have to rethink the way you use your lenses). Canon have an 85mm f/1.8 for about $400....or if you really want to spend some money there is an 85mm f/1.2 L Series lens. I don't want to frighten you so I won't even mention the price.
