Dont get tempted in exchanging your 40D camera for a 50D. The 40D is just as good and the difference in specs you will probably would not use that often anyway

I’d be all pissed, since I just invested in a 40D a couple months ago, but those specs aren’t making me clamor for a new camera. I doubt many of the photos I take will ever even take advantage of the 10 megapixels I have now - not much cropping, and no poster-sized prints.

Richard - nah, I’m perfectly happy with the Canon 40D! Donncha

I completely understand! I’m waiting for the 1D Mark IIIn before I upgrade from my 1D Mark II.

You could always return it :). Better to get what you truly want rather than just settling.

And one has to remember - my Canon EOS 350D does the same job it did for me when I bought it.

The one who makes the images is me. And I can do it just as well with an old filmcamera from the 60’s as long as I have control over it (and I just did, with an old Yashica J-7). Personally, I’ve sold of all my af-lenses (except for the Canon EF 50/1.8 II) to replace them with manual focus ones to put on my DSLR, as I discovered I often like the old ones better.

What? You got a 40D?

Congratulations - I hope you have fun with it.

I looked at the 50D spec. I’m not impressed at all. Yeah, 5 extra MP would be nice, but not spectacular.
