Pics look good, but why did you completely ditch an entire setup instead of just buying a faster lens?
IIRC, you said you had a Nikon setup in the first thread.
Because I had a very old Nikon (D70), that needed to be replaced also. I wasn't really invested in Nikon other than a sb400 (which I have for sale here, BTW
)
Canon had the better deal on the 70-200 f2.8 IS. Every review I read about the lens was stellar, and it and the Nikon version were equal in quality.
I chose the 60D largely for the flip out screen. I know it sounds like a cheesy reason, but my kids are very annoying about demanding to see the picture right after it was taken; to the point of running to the camera. Very aggravating when trying to get pictures of all 3 of them together. Now, I flip out the screen and reverse it so they can see it and no more mad dash at me each time I take a picture.
