350d -> 400d
Hi all,
Does it make sense to upgrade from 350 to 400? I've got a decent offer for my 350D (not that I was planning on selling it) but then thought I could get the 400D with the price difference  Later |

Re: 350d -> 400d
I think you would be happier in the longer term going to the 40D, or even a s/h 30D.

Re: 350d -> 400d
I think you would be better sticking with the 350D. (I have the 400D but did not upgrade). The extra bits are better, more MPs and faster FPS. However, unless its a straight swap, or you make a profit, I would consider putting the difference towards a new lens or saving for sumut in the next range up. If you can make a profit then go for it!

Re: 350d -> 400d
wooow silkstone, thats a great idea... I'll have to look into it... see the price difference and all...
I am not making any profit on it, in fact am loosing a little bit on it... but I figured that 400D would be worth it! |

Re: 350d -> 400d
If the size of the body is of no worry then I would look at a 30D or 40D. One thing I would also add is don't chase technology.If you are happy with the results of the less expensive kit then go for it.
 Also go for the best quality of lens you are prepared to pay for.Regards Brian |

Re: 350d -> 400d
To be honest with myself, I don't really need to upgrade my 350D. Its doing exactly what I need it to do and a whole lot more! But thinking of having a new technology in my hands makes me forget everything else

Re: 350d -> 400d
I think you'll be more impressed with the change to the 30D/40D than the 400D. If you've no compelling reason to upgrade right now, I would save a little longer and get a 30D or 40D.

Re: 350d -> 400d
The difference between 8 to 10 megapixels is very, very minimal, the (400D)XTi also is kinda a minor upgrade from the (350D) XT, in the long term the 30D or 40D offer you much more -just the 100,000 shots shutter and the magnesium alloy is a big upgrade- save your hard earned money until you have enough for the 30D or 40D
