There are lots of options for you to consider.


As you mentioned, there are some good deals on refurbished camera bodies. Adorama has the 50D for$999 and the 40D for $749. Since the camera rides on your bike, you might even consider a 1D body just for toughness. I have the 1DMKII and it is built like a tank. I've seen used MKII's in the Dallas area for $1,100in like-new condition.


What is it about the XS are you looking to upgrade?
