Thanks for the feedback. I currently have the original Digital Rebel and due for an upgrade. Shooting in RAW is ultra slow, and I have to PS alot of the shots also. I was going to buy the 30D, can get it around $975, but can be persuaded to get the 40D too.

Thinking that the 40D might be better. That way, I won't have to upgrade so soon next time. If I get the 30D, I might always regret not getting the 40D. So I must think and rationalize some more
