>> 1. It makes more business sense to stay canon so that you can upgrade a piece at a time as you get the money.
I want to start investing in the right camp right now because aside from my expensive flash, the rest of my equipment is pretty much dumpable at any time.
>> A great body will still give you shit images if you don't upgrade your lighting and glass.
Yeah but camera A with great higher sensitivity with a 50mm 1.8 vs. camera B with mediocre higher sensitivity with a 50mm 1.8. I'll take camera A, man.
>> If you aren't making money with the 400D, you won't be making money with D300. Your marketing and handling of potential clients has nothing to do with your equipment.
Um, that's because I bought the cheapest camera I could afford 18 months ago, the 400D and have been using it extensively to learn. Now that I can actually tell people, yes I can do that! I am going to be making money off this.
I do live shows and events and if the client's untrained eye can tell me, hmm this is a bit blurrier or grainier than I was expecting, then I do need to do something about it.
>> Manual lenses are shit if you are trying to make a living with photography.
I know my Nikon 50mm 1.8 by heart, and if I can manually focus a EF-S 17-55 with that joke of a focus ring and viewfinder on the 400D, I'm sure I'll do fine with a larger viewfinder and a proper ring.
>> You will probably be better off investing in a better glass and a pair of 430EXs, because a rebel with great lighting and glass is always better to have than a D300 with shit lighting.
I can't carry lighting with me as I go. It's not under my control. I roll to the place and have everything in my hands.
I have been renting expensive lenses and I am not satisfied with a maximum of ISO 1600 at f/2.0 stopped down from f/1.4 because I either get too slow a shutter speed or I'm struggling with noise.
