Hi All
This isn't really a very useful thread I suppose, but i'm new to this section of the forums really, so just thought i'd chip in to say hi and that I've just ordered a new 70D. I was out of the photography game for a while after I felt that I reached the limit of my old Sony a200, plus I didn't want to invest in the system too much as I wanted to move to Canon (I got the Sony originally as I had a family friend get me a discount through Sony).
I haven't received it yet but looking forward to it, I went with the 18-135 kit lens rather than the 18-55, hope i made the right choice.
Any tips and tricks you can give me would be great, as well as any immediate purchases you recommend? With my Sony I had the Minolta 70-210 Beercan (great lens) and a 50mm 1.4 prime, so i'll probably pick up the 50mm 1.8 Canon as I hear its a pretty good 50mm for its price.
Also looking to get a flash as i've never learnt in too much detail how to use flash set ups so I'm looking at the 430 EX II unless anyone recommends otherwise.
Soon after i get to grips with, I have the opportunity to do some food (cakes) photography for a friend starting a business, so while I did some standalone product photography in the past, any direction on this sort of photography would be useful.
Thanks
