Yes! definitely that's why I have been working like an idiot lately, so far this week I have worked 57 hours and I hope to work again later today, Sunday, and at least 50 hours next week
so I will be able to afford a new EOS 40D or even 50D at the end of this month or beginning of the next

why dont you get an xsi with L series lens? the pro's use them as back up cameras, or if they wanna travel light

haha you dont get it once you have used those larger and more advanced EOS cameras you don't really want to use a smaller one again, not that I have anything against the Rebel/4xx series. It's kinda like driving cars I mean if you have driven and owned a good car you would probably want to get either a similar car or better again. Though I believe the Rebel serious could be excellent to take with you when you travel somewhere course of their smaller size. hmm lol maybe I will get a XTI/400D in the future, but right now I just want to take the first step by saving enough money to get a main camera

so which do you think ull get the 40D or the 50D, what are the main differenced anyway, coz people said the 50D is not much better?

yeah... I am still debating on which I should get. Here in Canada 50D cost about 400 dollars more and I've heard that the high ISO performance of 50D isn't better or even worse than 40D. I do like the much better main LCD of 50D but I'd be stupid if I pay 400 more just for a nice LCD - lol It is really surprising that a camera that can go all the way up to ISO 12800 actually have the same or worse high ISO performance as a camera that only goes up to 3200. Some people may wonder why I consider high ISO performance a very important factor when I choose a camera, well first of all you can not use or bring a tripod everywhere. I do plan or at least hope to travel a lot and when I travel I do not really want to bring a tripod and tripod is quite useless and very impractical if you are at a party or concert.
