Time to start saving up again

I think ive had my XTi long enough, it's about time to upgrade

I WAS planning on getting the 40D, but now the 50D is out, so I gues i'll have to save for that now

haha

Just some quick specs:
15.1 Megapixel CMOS Sensor
DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Large 3.0-inch VGA LCD Monitor
Live View Function
High-Definition Video Output
Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction

ISO:
Auto ISO (100-6400)
Basic Zone modes (ISO 100-3200)
High Tone Priority mode(ISO 200-1600)
Extension mode (ISO 12800 with C.Fn.I-3-1)
Shutter Speed: 30 - 1/8000 seconds
Start-up time 0.1 seconds
6.3FPS (odd that it went down by .2 FPS from the 40D)

You can read up the rest for yourself, but thats some of the main ones I noticed

Thats pretty insane eh! I wish I had that money to buy it.

That would be nice to have but I'd rather spend my $1,400 on a gaming desktop

MBGraphics · 09-02-2008, 08:02 PM

Haha, yeah im just happy because now prices will drop on the 40D (which im picking up soon along with the 100-400L IS

)

Calibretto · 09-02-2008, 08:54 PM

Yeah my roommate has been talking about the 40Ds going down in price.....good for him....

scooter · 09-02-2008, 09:00 PM

I just got a new 40D for less than half that...

and its still a slick slr...

sure this new one looks crazy but--whatever new s*** all the time...same ol' same ol'...more mega pixel, more features, more money...blah

My buddy just got an XSI for 400 bucks with kit lens but still..great price for a very nice slr.

MBGraphics · 09-02-2008, 09:06 PM

How much did you get your 40D for? How do you like it?
I'm looking for a used one hopfully around 800 then pick up a 100-400 used for about 1000.

one of my friends just got the XSi as well, it's pretty nice.

I'd rather get a killer computer (you know, the ones that actually... kill?) and get a lower end DSLR. But again, I'm no professional photographer...

And I'll get the Bike, the DLSR or the killer drumset... It all depends on what you like to do.

Well my dad cut me a deal saying he will trade computers with me (which his is better by quite a bit) and I can get upgrades for it a little later on. Because he would rather see me spend my money on my photography equipment rather than a computer just so I can play even MORE games

It's a good deal for me, in fact, i just picked up the 40D used off of sombody for 790 shipped and paypalled a few minutes ago
