Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

I know a guy with the Mark III and he says the same thing him self. As far as more differences...noise, it's still good, but the thing is it could be better, but hey, Im not processing film or buying film, it can't be anyworse than Nikon. canon weight

I just finished shooting a local Salsa band the other night at ISO 3200 and I'm suprised how well they turned out. They do have noise (of course) but are better than what I used to get with my old 20D. Just my opinion. Paul

ACDCROCKS (nice name by the way) I do agree with the color saturation comment, I also seem to see better gradation from color to color. Paul

I don't believe that any crop format DSLR on the market today has better low light capability than the 40D. And as already mentioned the 20D and 30D are close enough to be considered identical to the 40D as far as noise goes. Bob
