Camera Body Progression

April 2008 - Present: 40D
Fall 2010: Bought and sold 5Dc, only kept it for a few months - didn't feel it was a big enough upgrade for cost.

Up next - 7D.

G3 - 40D - 1DIV

Summer 06 - XT
Winter 09 - 1DmkIII

Next...something a little more simple, and definitely a lot smaller...maybe a Fuji Finepix X100

Feb 2010 - Rebel XTi
I always wanted a DSLR and wanted to explore photography but I never had the courage to cough up the money. My girlfriend's friend was selling his XTi for dirt cheap so I immediately jumped on it. All I can say is "snowball effect."

September 2010 - Rebel T1i
I was browsing through some Craigslist ads in my local area and found a brand new T1i kit for a really good price. I checked my funds to see if I can afford it and also checked how much the market price was for the XTi. After doing some calculations, I figured:
-I can sell off my XTI body
-Buy the T1i kit
-And only lose ~$100 out of my pocket after selling the kit lens

End of September 2010 to Current - EOS 7D
After promising myself I won't upgrade anymore, I learned about the Canon Rebates that were offered at the time. Amazon had the 7D kit at an all-time low in addition to the rebates so I did some calculations and decided to just do it.

Spring 2008 to fall of Fall of 2010 - 20D Bought used from Adorama, sold on Craigslist because of...
Spring 2010 to current - T2i Bought new because of video capabilities. And now...
Spring 2011 - 60D WON it in a giveaway from juicedLink.com and am super excited!!!

Man, I feel old, starting in 1979

I won't even include film bodies or p&s:

40D------11/07 to 06/2010. Very good body.
10D------09/08 to 09/2009. Another good body, wonderful color rendering.
1D-------01/09 to 09/2009. Great AF, fabulous color rendition and small files looked bigger.
1Ds------02/10 to present. Just love this body, great color rendition and film-like files.
1DMKII--04/10 to present. Replaced the 40D, never looked back.

and...

Olympus EP-1 PEN--01/11 to present. My take with camera when I don't want to carry my other bodies. Nice files, though noisy from iso 400 and up. Great with MF glass.

For me it's 500D/T1i from November 2009 - present.
Looking forward to 7D or maybe 5D II if I get lucky.
But for now I'll focus on glass
