Photography and guitars require some investments but once done…

Light is free… capturing it is not!

But, as you learn the ropes, you will come to find that there is a lot of room for improvement.
Being able to play with light – and better yet – predict it – will be one of the things that you can really come to love from this hobby.
In our experience, photography has been a life changing thing for us. We grew up together – from a young age going out and taking simple photos while we were at a local park or even in our backyards. Now, as we both are nearing 30 years old, we’ve managed to turn our hobby into a career where we take photographs for people.
In all this time, we still love photography. We love the simplicity of it, and how it can be used to convey emotions that are hard to relay with words. Photography has been a fuel for us to get out and explore the world, meet new people, and so on.

By far, No! I have a full woodworking, cabinetmaking/furniture shop that's also "just a hobby" now.

All things considered, there is a genuine benefit in going with Canon or one of the majors on the camera since it truly gives you significantly more focal point decisions since you can incorporate Tamron and Tokina, in addition to there is substantially more possibility that you can update the camera in the future without supplanting the focal points. 
In view of the projected evaluating, you could purchase a computerized rebel and similar unit of focal points from Sigma and have sufficient cash passed on to purchase an extraordinary Canon streak, and the 35 F2 for a quick, sharp ordinary, which would give you an awesome arrangement.
