If you buy anything, buy the 40D, and in the end you KNOW you will end up using it too...maybe even more than her. Then when the new 5D or whatever comes out, you will be in a prime spot to ditch the 30D, and upgrade to the FF if you so choose. http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/8646/capture1o.jpg

Especially since they are a lot easier to carry around. It can lead to many more opportunities to take pictures of every day things which can lead to a faster learning curve since she would have a camera with her more often. My wife loves hers, takes it with her everywhere. Gets shots of the kids and all kinds of events that she wouldn't get other wise. Just a thought. They don't always want what we want or what we want them to have. My Gear Listhttps://photography-on-the.net …p?p=3032213&postcount=554

I could tell she was pretty jealous when I got my 30D. She even says that she wants my camera really bad. But as someone mentioned before it would be better if I did not get another 30D and had a 40D around. And I DO LOVE HER so I definitely want her to have the best. 40D it is......thanks everyone.... sorry wallet lol -Turk- Blog

She'd be really upset, I know I'd be and I'm not even female. You'd be in the doghouse for months. Personally, if I was in this situation (shooting a film K2) and my significant other gave me a 30D and 17-85, I would be grateful to them. I'd appreciate what I'm given. Someone's giving you a valuable gift that they worked hard to get and we would whine that they did not get us the better model? Why not ask for a 5D and 24-105 at the same time?

Why not ask for a 5D and 24-105 at the same time? Then again I guess my values are just different.. No it's just really tacky to give someone your cast-off as a gift, then upgrade for yourself. Oh here sweetie, I got something better, here, you can have this older one, I'm not using it anymore. Now if you just wanted to upgrade, then give the old camera to her, that's wholly different, it's using it as a big gift that makes it troublesome. --Alex Editorial Portfolio
