Canon 50D
 

Just bought my wife a 50D I hope she likes it. How much of learning curve is there from an XTi to this one? Next thing will be to enroll her in some photography classes.

its about the same as xti in terms of usage. just a bit more options and alot better processor/sensor/image quality.

sweet. Well I guess we are going out to try it tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will be nice.

haha.. forecast it said it was goin to snow a little bit over the night.. not even a sign that it'll happen.. or.. maybe later on.. haha

Here is a couple of pics I took. They aren't as good as the one's you guys take but I hope to get there some day.

What lens are you using with your 50D?
This is exactly what I'm thinking of doing, upgrading from XTi to the 50D... But still trying to decide. Lots of $$... :(

is got the 18 - 200 IS lens kit.

got Futureshop to price match.

Trade you my 30D for your 50D. :D

^^ WTF? lol

Now I'm thinking of buying the 40D instead and putting the difference towards a better lens. I guess the only difference between those 2 is higher res screen and 5 extra MPs. Maybe couple other things but I won't be printing anything huge so the extra MPs don't really matter much.

40D is probably the best bang-for-the-buck canon SLR right now... get it while you still can.

Got me a 40D today! :D Now that I've saved $400 by buying that instead of the 50D, I can put that towards a lens :) Just hoping my Sigma 150-500mm will sell soon so I can get an L lens again :D

Nice. Well I figured since I was gonna upgrade I go as far as could. The 5D was a little more than I could afford. But I am happy with it and more importantly so is my wife.

If you have $$ why not. You or your wife will love it. Easy to learn too. Switching from XTi to D40 was super easy. Took me 5-10 minutes to get used to it :)
