Canon 30D or 40D?
As of tonight, I sold my Nikon D70S with the 18-70mm lens, Jenis Battery Grip.
I have my Tokina 12-24mm lens still sitting which will be sold easily at 400, and my SB-600 Flash, which could probably just go at 100. Sorry to say though, I'll be moving towards the darkside, over to the Canon group. I kinda miss my old XT I had, but I need to upgrade to something better. Now, I've been taking a look at some 30D's and wondering, I could probably buy a 30D with a kit lens for 700, and then spend a few bills extra and pick up a 70-200mm as well. O_O Or should I just get a newer 40D?
I need some of your expert guru input Photography section.
Sorry to let down my Nikon brothers
Jeff's a bad influence. wndrlst's not too far away either.

D300's kinda out of my price range as of right now. I'm looking for an upgrade, but not a significant one. I'm always changing my mind, but I'm sure I'll be moving over to Canon. The D70S was an amazing camera for what it did, but there's only so much one can do.
But yeah, the 30D is more price friendly for me at the moment. I kinda don't want to upgrade to something that'll leave me lens-less if that makes any sense whatsoever.

dad just picked up a 40D, I love it. I'm actually going to steal it from him soon.
The screen is f'ing huge. I haven't really had a chance to mess with it yet though

Congrats! Sorry to see you go to the other side though. Maybe I should try it as well.
I was hoping to mess around with wndrlst's stuff too, but didn't get the chance. :wink:

I'm glad to hear that you're doing better. It's nice to see you online, too. 
Shall I post a larger one for you then?
