after the stupid message before, i'm going to give my real opinion on this body:


I really like the fps, the crop, the AF and the built-in flash trigger. Why? Because I'm mainly a sports photographer, and i'm usually stuck in low light, so better AF is really cool. As for the flash trigger, that is because I'm personally interested in getting into lighting and that feature would be really useful to me.


As for the MP and all that stuff, I'm not really concerned: people say that the XSi is quite "unusable" abo ISO 400, but when i'm shooting at ISO 800 and 1600, which is quite often, I'm not finding any real trouble with noise. Plus, Daniel always says that it's just a myth that smaller pixels mean increased noise. So that's just not a concern of mine.


Too bad it would only take CF cards, because i only have SD cards for the XSi...but that won't be a problem. THe REAL concern is price..$1699 is a bit too much for me...even if I sold the XSi with the kit lens and 2 SD cards I could make it something like &1199, which is more reasonable. But, and here's whaat i'm wondering, is the gap between the 50D and the 7D worth spending more or less $700 more? Is it much of an improvement, especially for someone like me upgrading from an XSi?


hopefully i'll figure it out
