what I love about the 50D is many bought it & couldn't figure out how to use it well, so it's resale value is low, meaning we can collect them at a reasonable price LOL



Nina, that certainly enters into my thinking as well. When I look at the features vs the 7D, there's not that much difference -- at least for the ones that I use most. Perhaps the 7D's focusing system is a bit more sophisticated but I've never had a problem with the 40D's. As for high-ISO performance, I'm not going to be shooting too many indoor Trials where it would make a difference. Ring candids at Conformation shows are an issue but with fast glass I can keep the ISO at controllable levels. For the bulk of my work, the 50D is more than adequate.
