The only regret I had getting a 20D was the rubbish build quality. - I had been using a film 1NHS and once you're on the 1 series slope, you can't / don't want to get off.

I remedied that last year with a 1D2n

Yes, I bought the right camera, Nikon D50

wrong thread, sorry

This has nothing to do with Rob doing the same in the Nikon thread

Three times I have tried to post to this thread. count them 3! Each time my PC hung and lost it!! SO now I am sending in the heavy mob! (sees the posts above and winces) Retaking this thread with Canon (into the Valley of Death?) It is a far better etc...... Love my 30D. Like the missus's 400D but big hands struggle. Would love full frame but, hey, we all have a budget to fit to. Roger (if that is Ok with you Nikon folk?)

Re: Canon 400D XTI vs 350D XT vs 20D vs 30D vs 5D vs 40D Did you make the right choic

Now that I'm getting regularly paying work, I think a 40D is in the near future. I'd love a 30D, but the price difference between it and a 40D aren't too major, and I'd LOVE to have the low light IQ and fps that a 40D can provide. Besides, my XT does pretty well with wide angle low light focusing, so I think it'd make a great backup body.

I too have small hands, but had to get the grip for the XT. My pinky felt left out until it had something to hold onto. I don't think I'll mind the added weight one bit.

Just sold my 400d after buying it 6 months ago and although i was very happy with it i just fancied the 40d so in answer to the question "was it the right buy" id say it was at the time but 6 months down the line im glad i moved on.

Canon all the way for me

Dave

Can I amend my vote to include a 5D as well?

We use 2x 400D's at work one of which I use daily and find it a nice little camera to use
