Hey,

Just wondering. Are there any 30D owners that are willing to trade down to XTi? Say brand new XTi plus cash for a 30D with a coupla thousand actuations on it? Just wonderin if it's even feasible. 10MP and anti-dust-shakey thing... but the extra cash is probably the thing that would convince the 30D owner...

Not unless you added $1200 to the price so I could buy another 30D. Then I'd sell the XTi and buy a lens or 2nd Alien Bee. :)

Well, I have a 20D with 65,000 actuations under it's belt. This is a no-brainer which only takes a split second to make the decision.

..... I'll keep the 20D thanks :D:D

I guess my best bed would be to try to sell it.... lol. Sell it ASAP before it falls in value (like the 350D has)

Or maybe I'll use it then save up cash to pick up a 40D or whatever the next big thing is.

Handling is too important. I would consider trading for a 20D at the right price but not a 350/400.

No. I'll never be able to go back to the controls on the XT. And I think I'de die with the XTi (I need that damn monochrome screen, no joke.) I love being able to adjust the iso, flash strength, etc, all with my eye in the viewfinder and just pushing buttons beside the dial.
