    Honestly, if you're hell-bent on going DSLR and not mirrorless, then check out the second-hand market.

    The Canon 5D/5D Mark II/5D Mark III is affordable used, and you can get some great second-hand EF glass (for example., the 50 mm f1.4, 85 mm f1.8, etc).

    • I say used, because DSLR definitely isn't the way of the future, and the options will diminsh for new kit.Continuity

    • I had a Canon 5D Mark II with the 50mm f1.8 and loved it. It’s a bit big and cumbersome compared to the mirrorless Sony though.Chimp
    • I always found the 1.8 a bit ... I dunno, lacking, and the 1.4 was only about 95 Eur more new anyway, so I got it.Continuity
    • But yeah ... the 5D series is a big fucking brick.Continuity
    • The 85 mm 1.8 is shockingly good for the price, though, and for not being an L lens. And that creamy bokeh. Mm.Continuity
    • I've had the Canon 5D Mark II for 12 years. I still love it.CyBrainX
