BUT - another consideration about lenses is, what exactly are the lenses that you have? For (one) example if you have a couple of Kit Lenses, then typically they are quite slow (having a relatively small maximum aperture). This means that your typically pulling shots at around F/5.6 - whereas using an inexpensive EF 50 F/1.8 MkII, you can pull very good quality shots at F/2, a practical saving of three stops of ISO for any given Shutter Speed - this could be considered as well as or, instead of, a camera upgrade.

 

If your passion is to make a lot of low light images without Flash, then seriously consider one initial jump to a 6D, or a 5D series camera: I expect that a 6D would be the better value for money if the budget is tight.

My main lens is a Sigma 18-250 3.5-6.3, plus a Canon 10-18 4.5-5.6.

I appreciate that neither of these are fast....

Hi, try full frame for low light,something like 6D, they generally better in hi ISO compared with crop sensors.

Didn't think my cropped sensor compatible lenses would fit full frame??

Hi,

I'm contemplating upgrading to a 7D MK2 from a 550D. I'm disappointed in the 550's low light performance, and understand from reviews that the 7D has significant low light capability. Can anyone confirm/comment on this? Main requirement is for theatre/live performance work.

Many thanks, Ian

Hello. What solution have you mixed for your D-76? and what temperature was the solution? Might have been a bit too warm perhaps...

Try some of these suggestions. I've always found this site very useful for push/pull details.
