I bought this camera second hand but supposedly it had hardly been used.

I have a real issue with how little the battery lasts. The other day I used it for a total of 3h, took around 50 shots maximum, and the battery was almost dead by the end. I have a second battery, though I didn't buy the camera charger (regretting it already). Still though, it feels like this is way too short. Or am I wrong and this is normal?

Any tips on how to make the battery last longer? It's already in airplane mode while I'm on the go....

Thanks in advance!

<p>Hi everyone,<br>

I have a 700D and I recently managed to damage my Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8, which was my travel buddy and my 'standard' everyday lens together with my 50mm 1.8.<br>

I went to a camera shop to ask for advice, and the guy was very much pushing for me to replace the Tamron lens with the Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM. He said the quality of the images as well as the actual lens is better, and the Autofocus too.<br>

Honestly, I liked my Tamron lens and loved the 2.8 constant aperture but I would be intrigued to go for something a bit different.<br>

I would appreciate your thoughts and your expertise!</p>

<p>I've found a second hand lens sold on ebay (very cheap). It's a Sigma 21-35mm 3.5/4.2 wide angle that was used on Nikon....<br>

So my question is, would it be possible to use this lens on my Canon Rebel XT or would that damage one of the two(most importantly, MY CAMERA?)<br>

And if it's possible, how is it done?<br>

Thank you very much!</p>

<p>Hello everyone!</p>

<p>This is my first post in this forum. I consider myself to be a beginner. I have been using my SLR camera for the past year, and have recently bought a prime 50mm f/1.8 and I'm very happy with it, especially for portrait photos. I would like to buy a wide angle lens but I can't afford to spend too much on it. I'm thinking of buying a sigma or tokina lens since I've heard that they are a good alternative to a canon lens.<br>

I wanted to know what you experts think of these two brands. Are they indeed good? Or should I keep saving money to spend it on a canon?</p>

<p>Thank you very much.</p>
