holy crap, congrats on one upping is all Jup!
glad you like it, using it on the 5 or 7 today?
when I told her what I was doing I get this
"so how exactly are you going to UPGRADE, yet it not cost you anything after selling your things??? Wouldnt everyone do that if it were the case?"
so then I had to carefully explain how selling Matt's 17-55 would pay for the body, and the rest of the gear would cover almost all of the other things. There might be an omitted $100-150 disparity in each move, and I have one lens left which if I sell the 20D I will still be $300 short on...but she bought it

I miss my 03 CL-S :(
I just ordered a 7D from canon (refurb) for $1,087.20
Hopefully I can sell my 50D on craigslist or ebay for $500 or more.
Not a huge upgrade, but I've been wanting the better AF and want to experiment with video.

I got up this morning at 4:30am, was in Fredericksburg about 6am. Unfortunately Osprey not that active this morning.

I bitched out, went to bed at 10pm...legitimately tired. Tossed and turned for 2 hours before I was able to fall asleep. Woke up at three, and there was no way I was going to be driving at least an hour, so I just went back to sleep.
Turns out that they got a perfectly timed weather window just before dawn. I fail

I'm stunned with f/1.4 on the Sigma 50. Completely usable sharp images! I would never shoot the Canon at 1.4 because it was just too dull - it wouldn't get sharp until 2.0 or so, and I'd have to do a good deal of sharpening to get it to a reasonable point even there.

I got my 7D in the mail yesterday. Spent last night getting familiar with it, switching all the settings from defaults and registering the micro-adjustments for my lenses.
I like the shutter feel, but I'm going to have to figure out a better way to switch between the AF modes. Hitting that tiny button next to the shutter isn't exactly easy.

Another thing worthy of mention while we are on topic. By default, a couple of (IMO) useful AF modes are disabled. Go into C.Fn III #6 to enable.

^Totally agree. It's worth the time to go through your entire C.Fn menu to personalize your settings with this camera.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!

it *seems* like you should be able to set one of the other buttons with the same function as M.Fn button for setting AF mode, but I could not get it to work...

So cutting off the tops of the building and getting the hand rail in the shot impresses you? /rt
