So, I finally splurged and bought a new digital camera – a Canon EOS 50D. Some of the initial results are visible on my Flickr.
All I need now are some decent lenses.

Get yourself a 50mm prime. The F1.8 lenses are very cheap and ridiculously good quality. But if you can afford it, splash out on a 1.4.
Already was my plan, along with the 35mm prime (to counter the APS-C lens crop to get framing closer to a 50mm lens on a 35mm format).
Once I’ve got those, then I’ll look into a decent EF-S zoom, followed by a real EF tele. And that’s pretty much the limit of my plans.
Woo! Excellent. :D
I can quite recommend the 35mm f/2, that’s the only lens we actually have for the 7D at the moment. Sure it’s a bit old and the auto-focus mechanism isn’t USM so it’s noisy, but I love it. The field of view (56mm equivalent) is just perfect.
