Most of the changes camera manufacturers are making these days are convenience items like live-view and larger LCD's. The image quality is not making the large jumps like a few models ago, at least not for Canon. Donncha, I couldn’t agree more.

I love it. I'm upgrading from the original Rebel. The appearance of the image for review after taking a picture is almost instantaneous not many seconds as on my 300D. The picture data is now 14 bit not 12 bit allowing for more dynamic range. The image data is lower noise allowing for the use of higher ISO values. ISO 1600 with the noise filter on is impressive. It is unlikely any manufacturer will develop rapidly enough to drive upgrades with every model. I usually upgrade cameras and computers about every three years.

Now they're at the stage where buying the latest and greatest isn't that important. I think the same is happening with DSLRs. Is there any really convincing reason for an amateur photographer to choose Nikon over Canon? Their entry level cameras are so close it's hard to figure out which is better. Does it matter in the end anyway? That reminds me, remember the days when computers were getting faster and faster and it really made a difference when you upgraded?

If you look at the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/cameras/canon/">Flickr Canon Cameras</a> page it's obvious what the most popular model is. The 20D does come in at a respectable 3rd place though :) It’s rumours, true, but the 30D was only a small incremental improvement and I think it’s probably being squeezed from top and bottom by the 5D and 400D.

There's nothing official from Canon that the 40d even exists yet is there? Or did I blink and miss that? But it’s still just rumours.
