Re: I need help deciding.
the 15mm you give up from 55 to 70 is not significant. with 18mp, you can crop the difference easily. the difference from 17 to 24mm is very significant. you can't "un-crop" that. and indoors, usually you can't back up any further. the 17-55 has L glass. just not L construction. the IS sweetens the deal. -

Re: I need help deciding.
Sorry, I have a 7D and an XTI. I would like a little wider for indoor portraits. I would also like the extra light the 2.8 offers. I do a lot of youth sports and indoor events. I think 17mm would be nice but I don't know if I would miss the extra 20mm on the other end. It would be nice to save $300 or so on the 17-55 but I…
