Depends on what type of upgrade. Cash really determines how much more camera you can get. I upgraded to 7D because I wanted video capability. Good luck!

I had the 20d I upgraded to the 60d. I really like the quality of the pictures. I'm a wedding photographer and it is so much easier to use, it has the Q button on the back for quick access to all the setting options you can change.

Depending on what you do the list will help.Canon EOS 60D: Has Video and 18.1MP SensorCanon EOS 5D: Really Nice Camera, Full Frame and does HD Video, MP ranges on Mark.Canon EOS 1D Series: They are Amazing, Fast and the best $$.$ can buy.

It all depends.....video clips and a high resolution lcd. screen will be the few reasons to upgrade for a 60D. because the 50D is basically the same ..well has better Resolution on the Lcd but no much...and a lot a reviews say that the 15mp increased somehow the noise at low light...and also the HD. is better on the 40D. ...so I will sugest you to go for the 60D !

I have a 40D. Works in auto and manual. Well worth it for the price. I use it for Wedding photography and it works flawless. Hope this helps .

thanks, I think I will just upgrade to the newest rebel. My current rebel is digital, not film.

I have had the 17-85 for a couple months and i already want to upgrade.. i want to sell it. i want the 17-40 f4 really bad. i would say unless dont mind about pictures that lack somewhat sharpness i would go with the 17-40. the 17-85 is hard to use i think.. of course unless you want mine ide sell it to you :)

why do u want a view finder? I have an old S110 and I can never recall ever using the view finder. I want the 40D but my wife says no. So I'm thinking about setteling for the 790IS. The rest look like cheap plastic.

I didn't see any difference. I am very happy with mine, it woulds like I believe it should. There was only one issue with the viewfinder which in my opinion become too easily detached, but I am sure that's only my model. I would say do more research on this 1d in comparison to others. You can always buy and return it to if you don't mind spending a few bucks on shipping it back if you don't like it.

Hi Mr. Hewitt (I wonder if we have any relation?) Anyway, for a true beginner (as in you've never used anything but a point-and-shoot) I'd recommend you get a Nikon D40 and an 18-200 VR. Keep the 18-55 kit lens, you'll find it lighter when your just taking snapshots of the family or whatever. The D40 is an excellent starter camera, it has almost all the tweaks of this much more expensive camera without the weight and cost. The D300 has many advantages over it, but I really feel you'll learn a lot faster with a simpler camera, and step up to this when your ready. I actually started out with a D40 a bit over a year ago, it made starting out quite fun. The 18-200VR will follow you as a great lens on the D300 too, and you can use any newer AF-S lenses on it. If you have older AF-D Nikon lenses lying around that you want to use, a D80 is also a good place to start. It's easier to make the custom tweaks you'll learn about in your photography classes on the D80, but it still has Auto modes as well to get you started. Checkout www.kenrockwell.com, especially his recommended camera page. He's a bit more eloquent than I am. And I wouldn't be so fast to recommend the D60 to anyone, it's just the D40x's guts (plus active D-Lighting, but without the other enhancements of the D300/D3) with a different name stamped on it. I wouldn't recommend the D40x or D60 to anyone, they exist to fill a price point to compete with Canon. If your eyeballing either, jump to the D80 and don't look back.

I finally bit the bullet & purchased the Canon Pixma Pro 9500. It's a little spendy, but if your budget allows it's a good choice. Myself I invested in a New Desktop & display, because all I've been using is a 15 inch Macbook Pro, & I wanted to actually do justice to the amazing images I get with the 50D.

This lens is a little noisy compared to Canon USM lenses, although not as much as an older Tamrom 17-50 I use with a 40D. If any doubts, you can always go a camera store nearby and try a display Tokina 16-28.

Get yourself a new D40 and lens for around $400.00. Sometimes used can be unreliable.

More bang for your buck will be the XTi, since it is cheaper and you honestly won't get much better photos from the 40D. However, if you can swing the money, I wholeheartedly recommend the 40D. I recently upgraded from the XT to the 40D. The additional controls make it so much easier to change settings, the larger size feels more balanced, etc etc. However, the XTi is a great camera, and don't feel bad about buying that either! It's a nice upgrade from my XT, which I loved for 2 years. You honestly can't go wrong with either one. Go to a store and handle each and see if one feels better in your hands than the other.

I can't pre-order... Too little faith in canon cameras when they are released. I will probably get it down the road (feb-march) if their aren't any issues.Would upgrade from mkII.Would be nice if canon could release the 1d and 1ds as one camera, and just allow us to switch between high fps and high MP.But alas, I'll refrain.

It worked great with my Mark II - I can't imagine a reason why it wouldn't work the 40D.

The D4 is a very good camera. The D4s is slightly better at high ISOs. Its seem to track focus on moving subjects a bit faster. Go to DXO website and they do a great comparison on cameras and you can compare the two cameras. The picture quality is the same I think over all again with some improvement at high ISOs. I do not know what you shoot or how you photograph so it is very hard to give advice on upgrading. If I had to do it again, I think I would stay with the D4 and which I still use right along with the D4s and wait for the next big change in camera bodies.

I'm going to suggest a different question. Do you really want a newer version? I recently bought a used 300mm F4 for 950. Its sells new for around 1300. This lens has been due for replacement for quite some time. So i had to ask myself the same question you have, when will a replacement come out, because it is certainly overdue. Problem is, when it does come out, it will be of lesser build quality, it will remove the aperature ring(G lens), add VR, and cost well over 2000. While I would like the VR on this lens, is it worth the huge proce difference, and the reduced build quality. I also used the same logic on a 17-35 i just bought. So what I would suggest, is to judge the current lens on its merits. The only gripe I would have with this lens is that it is AF and not AF-s. It will be much cheaper than a new one, probably much better build quality, and who knows when a replacement might arrive.

I believe UDMA7 is a fairly recent development and you'd probably do just as well with something in the 4 range but like the other person said check with Canon. There's no point in spending more than you have to. Contacting them or checking their support page online is best.

I confirmed my 60D8000 with Samsungs website and you'll need to do likewise as it's been 18 months since purchase but it is made for many models as you end up with a lot of spare parts when done. Regret I cannot fully confirm, I wouldn't buy without Samsung accessories/options section confirming. Looks excellent when done though. Good Luck!
