I dreamt last night that I lost my 40D in a crowd. I woke up and wondered, what would I do? Get another cam right away of course, but ... which one?

Nathan Can you repeat the question, please?  More info | Feb 28, 2009 12:32 | #8 Mine WAS stolen. First thing is to file a police report. Then, notify the insurance company. I had planned on getting a 40D once I received the claim check, except that I found a used 50D for a good price. Taking photos with a fancy camera does not make me a photographer.

Sorry, but isn't that stating the obvious. At least you've done something positive to deal with a real event. The OP is just wasting our time with something that hasn't happened. ______________
