Canon 40D
Just picked up a new Canon 40D today, amazing camera.
I still have my 10D but this 40 is a huge upgrade. startup time is almost instantaneous. the lcd is huge viewfinder is significantly brighter and bigger the body is partially weather sealed onboard flash is higher on the body so wide angle and telephoto lenses don't get in the way and vignette anymore autofocus is much faster and there are more af points ai servo works much better and the picture quality is just tremendous. One of my main gripes about the 10D was that even if I cranked up the in camera settings, i still had to photoshop every picture, and when you're taking 300-400 pictures at a time sometimes, the photoshopping effort took all the fun out of the pictures. With the 40D you can leave every neutral and photoshop yourself, or you can use the in-camera settings now and no photoshopping required... if you're looking for a new DSLR, i give the 40D a big  i know, this thread is worthless without pics but i just got it tonight so i'll post some over the weekend...

i bought it at www.jr.com got it for $1299 no tax and cheap shipping (they're extremely reputable, been buying electronics from them for over 20 years) b&h has them in stock for $1299 too. i got the new grip (Bg-e2n) from 17th st photo (www.17photo.com) because they had it for only $20 more than the bg-e2, but b&h and other places were selling them for well over $200) i also ordered 2 4GB cf cards from amazon because they have the sandisk extreme iii's on sale for $63.95 each(at least they did the other day.)
