The good ole 30D as a main camera.  I want a new one, but I wasn't impressed with the 7D, and the 50D eats batteries.  I'm waiting on the next generation.  Hopefully they will put out a 60D with SD and a new battery format.  But with the new 7D out, i highly doubt it.

ASAFan:
30D is the mid-range model, IIRC?  Regardless, if I have to replace my 300D, I'll be looking to up to a mid-range.

morrefule:
I would probably wait another 6-8 months.  I haven't been impressed with the 50D and though I am impressed with the 7D and when I shot the camera it felt really natural, I just want to get away from CF cards.  They are not as prevalent as they use to be.  Everything is going SD.  And I want a good Midrange Canon with an SD slot.  Or a Dual SD/CF slot like the new Nikon.

:D

How'd I miss this?

I'd take the Canon.   Camera mfg usually has superior products than electronics mfg.   Why?  Because they have a name to protect.

D40x is by all means a great camera.  If you have no old lenses laying around - and are jumping in, it's a great  buy. 

I like the 18-200 lens - as for affording it - it's one of the cheapest real lenses out there ( uh, I'm talking $250-300 ).   IF you can't afford it - try getting a whitebox from B&H.   We broke our last 18-200, and bought a replacement.   The options were --- buy a THIRD one ( heh, broke 2 ) --- or just try a whitebox.

We took the whitebox.

It's perfect.

www.bhphotovideo.co m  [ big lesson - buying pro camera equipment online or by mail - always ALWAYS buy from a reputable dealer.  Even if you're looking for imports, even if buying used.   Never, ever, ever buy from Brooklyn, NY.   B&H, Adorama, 42nd St Photo - if getting gear from NYC - if it's not from New York, NY (*Manhattan*) - don't buy.

Tatsujin:
Alright, guys. I'm not a camera freak like most of you. I just need a digital camera and I got one that people recommended to me. Misa also told me it's a good digital camera.  :P Lets all get naked and hug each other in the shower, tonight!
