| Im toying with the idea of upgrading from my 350D, but money is a little tight. If you had around $500-$600 to spend, what canon dslr would you recommend? Im not against buying used either. Ive seen a few Canon 1d mark II's for around $600, but im not sure if my current lenses can be used on it? |

| 30D or 40D. You can find these prices in eBay, nice, second hand used. I bought both from eBay and they both came out to be good.... and around that much money :) Also I wouldn't recommend you to sell your 350D, it could be everyday camera, or vacation camera while you can use new purchase for better reasons, like entering challenges here :P |

| I've had several Rebels then traded up to a 40D but hated it. I had tons of problems with it and wouldn't buy another one. I sold it and went back to the Rebel series and love my T1i. I highly recommend it! |

I have a 20D and had a 1D2 (which I sold for my current 5D). For $600, I'd easily recommend the 1D2. The autofocus speed and accuracy is just awesome.

| silly question, but can I use the same lenses that ive been using on my 350D, on a 1D mark II? If so, is there a difference in the crop factor? |

You can't use EF-S lenses. That rules out the 18-55 you have; it physically won't mount on that body. Tamron's DiII series also are designed for 1.6 crop factor cameras; I think your 17-50 will mount on the 1D, but that's a 1.3 crop factor camera and the lens might not quite cover the whole sensor. It would show serious vignetting, if that's the case.

| Just to remind you, Canon 30D is the only Canon camera has 100% ratings in Amazon. I would not sell mine, if it had 3" screen, other than that, it's a superb camera. |
