lmao now you are making me want to sell a kidney just to buy an EOS 1D xD

yeah the lenses and accessories cost ALOT and you dont want to just get rid of them because you want to buy a new body. its better and cheaper to stick to one brand.
btw personally I think Nikons DSLR look kinda ugly too lol at least compared to Canon which I find have very nice curves and lines ^^

yeah I've heard about the replacement for eos 5D. and I am sure sometime next year they will also release a replacement for 40D as well lol will be interesting to see if Canon will use a full frame sensor in 40D replacement xD or at least 1.3 crop instead of 1.6 ^^

I think 1.3X crop will die with my camera...
Think they will actually come out with a 1D mkIIIn or something now...

ok well at least they need to make a more affordable camera with full frame sensor ^^ would be great for newbies or amateurs who are into landscape photography

I have a D40 - cheapest of the lot

Canon EOS 400D with a lot of equipment, trying out different things at the moment..

cannon powershots are nice

I prefer a brand that shoots pics (I have experience with Nikon, Minolta, Olympus, Sigma and on occasion have used 3-4 other brands on single occasions) ... it shouldn't be too expensive, it shouldn't be cheap though, it should have some weather sealing because of where I live, it should be rugged for the way I am, the system needs to be built around its lenses because that's what really matters, bodies come and go, it's got to be something that not everyone has because I wanna be a unique and precious snowflake =)

My camera came dropping out of my vehicle the other day, landed with a loud THWACK on the ground. I smiled. Thought to myself immediately, boy I hope it didn't land on the lens. I picked it up and inspected the lens, ignoring the body wholly and completely. Lens perfect. I already knew the camera body would be fine, why, not because it dropped 4 feet onto concrete, but because I know its tough. But for shits and giggles I now look at the body ... ahh landed right there on the CF card door, 3 nice marks ... oh well, works just like it never fell. That's why I love my camera ... it can survive me ... because I am rough. And if shit isn't built right, when it comes to my hands, it will break.

nice lol my camera has metal body but I dont think it would survive a fall of four feet onto concrete ground course like three days after I got it the back LCD broke and according to the repair dude something must have hit it even though there were no marks on the body or the protective glass...
