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.

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!
