I'm not even sure if anyone would want it, but if I could, should I?? Than I'd have to sell my 17-55 and get 24-70L.

For doing weddings!!

why not sell the 20d IR and that way you would still have the 40d as a backup cam.
additionally, you could keep the 17-55 on the 40d and use the 70-200 on the 5d until you had sufficient funds to trade the 17-55 for the 24-70.

Get a new keyboard first. Drade? Haha. Just playin'. Uhm... I got a 5D only cause the lenses I already had would be more suited for a FF and the 40D I had was within the 30-day return policy. You already invested in good lenses, keep the 40D unless its limiting you

Agreed. If you are in need of another body, then sell the 20D IR and get a used 5D mk I. Keep the 17-55mm because I would rather have that then the 24-70mm almost any day(unless I get my 1d one day). You get just as good build(minus weather sealing), faster focus, and the best part: IS. The 17-55 on your 40D and the 70-200mm on the 5D is an amazing setup.

That would be really cool... Now where to get another $1000??? :) 20D will have to go in next month or so I guess, I don't even use it much, but it's nice to have an IR cam.

Thanks to all who replied, I'm convinced to stay with 40D and look for 5D..
