>>218629 Upgrading from Rebel to Rebel doesn't feel like much of an improvement.
As much as I like Canon, they are putting me in a bad position.
You've got your Rebel user, all fun and games.
You want to upgrade, you've got the $1,000 40D body.
Okay, good stuff. It doesn't have that many more features than the XSi but fine, it's faster and better than what the XSi does.
Great, what happens to someone who has a 20/30/40D?
You want to upgrade, you've got the $2,000 5D that is 3 years old. Sure, it's an oldie but a goodie, but it's still freaking 3 years old.
Or you've got the $4,500 1D or a $7,000 1Ds.
With the D700 and the upcoming D3x, Nikon will have a superior body than Canon at every single price point.
The D80 replacement will be better than the XSi.
The D300 is better than the 40D.
The D700 is better than the 5D.
The D3 is better than the 1D.
The D3x will probably be better than the 1Ds.
And that pains me a lot as a Canon guy that they've been slacking off so much for 3 years.
The last 3 bodies released are a joke. The 40D was less than spectacular. The XSi and XS are there for the low end.
The only reason I am still sticking with them is the unbeatable lens selection Canon still has. Which you will say matters a lot more than a full frame sensor with usable ISO 25,600, but hey, it's a fucking full frame sensor with usable ISO 25,600.
And that's just my rant.
