That's an extra 4 weeks (at least!) of fun you've had with the 40D than if you waited for the new 50D.
Enjoy your 40D and don't look back.

That's exactly what I'm going to do!

Cause i want a 5D replacement and not a 40D one hehe.. and yes 15mp is getting ridiculous IMO.. 12 was a sweet spot

Unless you need the new tech, might as well enjoy what you have. Most people should just get more lenses in the mean time. A new 5D replacement won't be cheap and could probably buy 2-3 L lenses.

Yeah I like the Rebels because they get updated the most with the latest tech. But for seriousness, the 1 series's build and speed is just better. The xxD series doesn't do much for me.

I won't really comment on a supposed 50D unless it's officially announced.

Agreed...

Happy my 40D. Looking to get more glass rather than another body. Plus bodies depreciate much quicker compared to lenses. I think I need a 70-200mm soon.

You've been saying this for ages... What else is new? Just get it and be done with it.

Indeed, just get it. <3ing my 70-200 f2.8 IS.

About the 50D, it should be soon. Isn't the XXD line an 18 month refresh? The one year mark is approaching very soon, so an announcement at the end of 2008 wouldn't be surprising.

I was going to respond with this very same statement, but lan beat me to it.

Holy crap, in body IS?

EDIT: Nevermind

$1700 does not grow on trees. Plus the prime bug is calling me. I really want to try the 200mm f2.8L prime one of these days. I want (need) a long prime for candids and street work. The white Ls garner way too much attention and defeats the stealthiness needed.

I've had the prime bug ever since I got my 50mm F/1.8. What a fantastic lens! Ever prime since the has been nothing short of fantastic. Only problem I find now, is that when I am taking pictures of people at parties, I wish I had more of a zoom. I'd really love the zoom that a 70-200 gives me, or a 24-70 for that matter.

I hear ya. I really miss my 85mm f1.8. I will own it again and hopefully soon. The Sigma 30mm f1.4 intrigues me as well since it kept pace with the Canon L in one review. The 135mm f2L is one I would not mind trying out as well. The Canon 100mm Macro will probably be my macro lens once I get into that sort of stuff.

Ah I thought we were under the impression that you were ready to buy already.

Try the 135/2 then and add a 1.4x teleconvertor if you need something closer to 200/2.8

I have 135mm covered already. I really REALLY REALLY want to try this 200mm prime. I was going to rent it anyway so I can just count depreciation as my rental fee if I want to sell it.
