Blane had sent me a video question about whether or not to get a loan to buy new photo gear, cameras, lenses, etc. He has a good job now but wants to expand his photography business in the coming years. Check out the video to hear my answer as well as the other questions he had. Thanks Blane!

There is a slightly nicer if u just want to train yourself... 18-55mm f2.8 will give u better range (including structures travel,kids) but not as great as 24-70. I have 24-70mm and I love this, but my choice for portraits is still 70-200mm
Blane is saying what we all thinking.
Keep on shooting and keep on making such great videos for us users.
I like that stuff very much!

Check forums / YouTube etc for about 5000 cases where PocketWizard have had to send people a dopey little "skirt" for their flash to get limited functionality from the triggers.
Where you have the money to invest in top-notch gear - great, however that doesn't mean you can't get awesome results with "consumer" gear. The T2i is a very good body - the sensor in it is the same as the 7D. I would say this is the last area you should invest in unless you want to shoot sports.
70-200 is an awesome range (Canon do 4 or 5 diff versions) - however it will be too tight for group shots/general purpose. I love the 17-55 f2.8, yes its for crops only and it's not an L lens, but it has the IQ to match.
I started off with a 430Exii and "cheap" ebay triggers - manual only but they work. I don't think $$$ on PWs is justified early on.
I'd also agree with Greg on saving up rather than going for the loan now.
GL!
