Ouch, in that case, considering all the money you would have spend, the 50D won't let you down. I've had the 50D and I think it's a great camera and it offers good capabilties. One tip though: if you're used to making lots of ultra-wide shots with your 16-35...you might be surprised to find out how un-ultra-wide it is on a 50D. You would notice it in the Alps for instance and you might want to think about that. Or start practicing panorama's []


I hope you like it and I wish you a very nice holiday in Switzerland and Germany[H]
