I'm trying to pick out a new lens for my Canon 7D digital camera. Any suggestions?

I mainly take portrait and landscape shots. I am looking for a lens that works exceptionally well in low-light. I'm still learning how to use this beast of a camera so I want a lens that is easy to use. I would like to keep it under 1,000.00 and prefer it to not be super heavy. The camera already weighs enough.

We are going to Europe in a couple of months and I would like to take pictures of architecture but also of my family (portrait).

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Also a fast, accurate, and quiet focus is important to me. Thanks!



Answer
Low light kings are the primes. So you have the 50mm f1.4 or 1.8, the 35mm f2, and the 85mm f1.8. These lens are super fast, and are great for landscape, and portraits. They're all rounder lens, suitable for a majority of situations. The zoom might be annoying, but you can carry another one if you need. The 35mm seems suitable for travel photography, maybe carry a zoom with you.

The 35mm is only $290 on amazon, so you might be able to buy a second lens.

The second lens I recommend is an "L" series lens, Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L, this is a beautiful lens, you can go from super wide to partial zoom, this is a heavy duty lens, so it might bother you while walking around.

If you want, you can get this and forget about the 35mm, and get a 85mm instead. So you have a 17-40 and an 85mm, both might be a little more than $1000.

Carrying a zoom, is better than carrying two primes. Do a little research and you will find the right one!

-Hope this helps.

Please help me in selection of good semi-professional digital camera?

I would like to have camera experts opinion in suggesting me a digital camera among the below three. ( suggestion of any camera model better than the below three is much appreciated :-) )

Got this list from many searches along with reviews.

Budget is <= Rs.15k

1.Canon PowerShot SX160 IS - Maximum shutter speed 1/3200 attracts me here
2.Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX10V - 18.2 MP and Exmor R CMOS sensor
3.Fujifilm FinePix S4500 - Works good in manual mode

I am just going to start my photography ( much of nature , landscapes ) hobby with not a SLR but at least need a semi-professional camera.

Please suggest me a best one to use long time.



Answer
You have no semi pro cameras on your list.

The models you listed are just cheap compact cameras. Don't be fooled by the appearance on the outside, all of these cameras use tiny, cheap image sensors and optics like any other compact camera.

here are four examples of semi pro cameras.


Canon's 7D, Nikon's D7000, Sony's A77 and from Pentax the K5 II.


All the cameras you listed have poor image quality, especially in low light so if that's all you can afford, just pick the one with the features you want most, honestly no single one stands out or beats the others with better image quality.
