I want one... First SLR that will lure me away from my Powershot Pro 1, which still wins for its swivel screen (well its really important to me!), but at least the 40D now has Live View and a biggish screen so I guess I can put up without the swivel screen and get all the other benefits of an SLR...

I've got the 5D but I miss my Powershot Pro and it's swivel screen. It took great pictures.

A friend of mine went from 20D to Powershot Pro 1 and is raving about it... I just wish Canon wold hang a swivelling screen off the side, now they have finally gone Live View... The new Lumix L12 has Live View plus swivelling screen (just what I was waiting for for 4 years!), but seems a bit quirky overall , so I'd rather go 40D (and maybe carry 2 cameras for a while).

D300

D300 does have really hi-res display approx 640x480 on a 3" screen.... but I think I still prefer 40D...

I have a 30D and it does a pretty decent job. I was tempted by the 40D but think the cash is better spent on a new lens and flash (10-22mm + 580 ex II).
They are good cameras though, nice and sturdy.

IQ has not improved since the 20D, which isn't a bad thing, but for me, it gives me little room to upgrade so I'm waiting for the next FF (5D replacement?).
The 40D should be the last ASP-C sized sensor from Canon. With Nikon launching a Full Frame (with their own sensor, finally - can we say CMOS?) Canon should move all their DSLR's to FF.

slappy, i bought the 10-22 with my 30d and the f/1.4 50mm my next will likely be the 100mm macro or the 85mm f/1.2. it's been a blast

how much was that v6? i think i remember you asking about it here, msybe?
pricey i would think.
*too lazy to search :D
- version30
over 3 and a half for bag, battery grip, 2 hand straps, propylene strap 75mm-100mm f/4, 10mm-22mm f/3.5, 50mm f/1.4 w/ hoods, extra battery, extra charger, 77mm, 58mm, and 55mm density, polarizer, and uv filters, c angle eyepiece, i still have the rebel with the 50mm f/1.8 and the 18mm-55mm f/3.5 as well.
- version30
that price includes the 30d as well, as it was somehow left out of the list. ;)
hopefully, i'll be able to buy this next month in all honesty *crosses fingers

(Sep 18 07, 17:07)on paper it sounds like the better body, but i'm not sold on nikon's glass.
i've decided on an xti and the 35mm f/1.4L. with the crop factor it comes to about 50mm, so it should be a nice all around lens. plus, on the xti it'll still be somewhat small and easy to carry around.
on the wishlist is the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS. my brother just got one and it's super amazing, but he's go the 5d. i'm thinking it'll be a little long on anything not full frame.

haha, sorry. i just meant for the lens.
are you going to even bother with the makeshift tilt/shift lens? the biggest concern is the dust...but damn, i really want to give that a go just to see what kind of results i get....especially considering that canon lens is over a grand!
- version30
the tilt shifts started at $100 and ended at $275 at lensbaby another link had 2 options at $400 & $600, i guess i'm a canon snob though, i keep looking back at that 45mm for $1100
