With 40Ds available in the $700-$900 ranger, the extra $600 for a 50D doesn't seem worth it until we see real reviews (from dpreview) proving that the 50D lives up to its claimed stats (because the 40D didn't) and that its new sensor is up to snuff in noise and sensitivity.

So from the looks of it still no improvments to the weather sealing or lack there of?

Agreed 100% but I wouldn't be rushing out to buy a 40d right now either. Originally Posted by Summit

Better yet, I think I may spend my money on some nice pieces of glass before I get a MkIII.

WTF? What is wrong with Canon? They just released the 40D last fall, are they trying to kill the used market on purpose?

I don't really see the point of the 50D... but that's just me, whatever.
Astro, if you watch footage of the indoor sports you'll notice that Canon led the way in a lot of the gymnastic events and others like it. Just something I noticed.

Come on, baby... I need this to drop so that the price of the current 5d bodies starts tumbling....
Betcha they come out with an answer to the whole live view/HD movie thing Nikon started, just in a full-frame cam. Since I don't care about any of that BS I'll just pick the low-hanging fruit that's sweeter IMHO.
