Canon 50D
Hi. I had the same problem in October when the 50D came out. I didn't know if I wanted the 40D or spend the extra for the 50D...I ended up with the 50D and am so happy that I spent the extra money for it. It is an incredible camera and it produces wonderful photos. If you look at my website, www.JulieKate.com, you will see the difference between which pictures were taken with the 50D and my older camera. It makes such a huge difference. Also, with the economy going the way it is, it will probably drop in price sooner or later so I would try to wait for that.

Hi Cary!
Welcome to the forum. I bought the 40D last October with the 28 to 135 mm zoom. I like it. It is built better than the Rebels with better water and dust protection if you are out climbing throught the rugged out doors. I do regret having only 1 lens at times. I blew the budget on the camera and would like to have a wide angle lens for the shots below my 28mm bottom end (for sunsets and mountian shots). It is also a pain that it only uses flash cards which are more expensive and can't be shared with my back up point and shoot camera. I too like the 40D weight and feel in my hand. I comes down to what you want to do and your budget. You can get the cheaper body and better/ more lenses to learn on then sell them as you get a good feel as to what you really need. I hope this helps
Cheers
EJC

Julie - I went to your site and could not decipher one camera from the other... was I missing something?
