Trading 5D for 50D for crop sensor?
I think what I am looking for is for someone to confirm my logic.
For better or worse, I now have 300 f/2.8 canon lens and photograph birds.
My lens has a 2.5 meter min focal length, and my 5D has a full frame sensor, so I found that
photographing tiny birds was challenging w/o a TC. Without a TC the tiny birds
fill up only maybe a quarter of the frame. And with all shots the ff sensor does not give the
zoom boost the crop sensor does. When I went from the Xti to the 5D I started shooting
everythiing in ISO 400-640 and am worried the 50D will make me wary of these modes like I was
with the Xti. From what I have read, that will no be the case.
Lastly, I think the full frame sensor gave me a lot of indirect image stabalization, and am
wondering if my handheld images will suffer with the 5D and the smaller sensor. I havent
seen much discussion about this.
thanks much,
tom
