Photography is a very personal endeavor. I believe it is absolutely and totally impossible for someone, other than you (yourself), to tell you what is the best equipment for you. It's like someone else telling you which car to buy. Which house to buy. Which town to live in. I'm sorry to sound so shocked... but this makes absolutely no sense to me. Does someone also tell you what to photograph? My suggestion is for you to have and use that equipment that best fits your photographic method and works for the subject type that you like to photograph. Only you can determine the answer. sincerely, Jim
