>>2875818Keep telling yourself that, you clueless cropfag. 5Dc is still not outclassed by Canon APS-C bodies in:
>high ISO performance In theory newer cameras go to higher ISOs, but 5D still beats them at ISO 1600
>low ISO noise >sharpness Yes those 12 megapixels of pixel level sharpness are just as good as best APS-C on the market, especially if both are used with affordable lenses
>dynamic range Canon was shit in this aspect for many years, they basically stopped improving a decade ago, util 80D which is around 2 stops better
>colour depth5Dc is a bad choice for sports and wildlife, but BY FAR the best low budget option for portraits. If you are into portraits, go for 5Dc.
Buying into a system is not such a good idea if you don't know what you need.
Camera is just one part of it. In the end it all depends on your preferences. I like using small cameras. I use my mirrorless camera more then my DSLR. Sony Alpha is great, but the lenses are overpriced imo. You can adapt Canon EF glass, but AF becomes slower and small mirrorless system bulkier, which defeats its purpose.
For 500-600 you can get more then just a camera and 18-55 kit lens. If you want the biggest bang for your buck, you should buy an older camera body. Canon 50D in good condition and lower shutter count(with Magic Lantern, becomes capable video tool), used 18-135mm IS, Yongnuo 50mm, and a cheapest chinese TTL flash that is a copy of a copy like Triopo or something.
If speed and autofocus are not important to you, its possible to go even older and get a dirt cheap used Canon 20D. Huge resolution difference on paper is much less apparent in practice, especially when used with cheaper zoom lenses or wide apertures on affordable prime lenses. In other aspects Canon sensors barely improved in the past decade(until 80D), so this option is not as dumb as it sounds. With that you can squeeze in one more lens, for example a used Canon 10-18mm.
