Thanks everyone! I'm looking to get a camera for my wife, something light to use as a walk around camera. We've looked into the Canon PowerShot SD850 IS, XTi, and even the Nikon D40. She really likes the D40 in terms of handling and feel. I agree it does have a good feel to it, but then I don't know if it's wise to invest in 2 different systems. I'll see if I can convince her to choose the XTi. Canon 5D Mark IIComplete Gear / Feedback

Yes, the next lens collection I'm planning to get will be the 70-200mm f4 IS, and either the 50mm 1.8 (Metal Mount) or the 50mm 1.4. During my researched I got mixed reviews from both of the 50mm, 1.8 metal mount vs 1.4. Many claims the 1.8 w/ metal mount is sharper. Hopefully someone who owns any of the above lens can chime in on their experiences. Thanks! Canon 5D Mark IIComplete Gear / Feedback
