I wish Sony would have a better native lens selection and then I'd probably be all over that.

I'm super impressed with the Fuji lineup lately (and size) - i.e. XT-1 (clarification: I own one), though at APS-C I'd still like a greater megapixel count. Faster lenses and portability do seem to be sufficiently make up for the sensor size in my book though; but if Sony was putting out some drool-worthy fast primes it would be tempting.



Yup, lenses are where you should invest your money. Lots of people go for the fanciest camera when the correct ordering is:

Available Light / Flash > Lenses >>> Camera

Also lenses hold(or appreciate in the case of the EF 300 2.8 and 400 2.8) while you can pick up last-gens camera body for a hugely discounted price.


A good fast prime will take pretty pictures in most light so I'll take good glass over a flash any day of the week.

Totally agree about available light being the most important thing, though. I think it even trumps having a good subject in many cases.
