I got a <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #000000; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-themecolor: text1;"]Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital SLR when they first became available about two years ago and have really enjoyed it.I would love a 50D but can't bring myself to spend money on a body when I could get more glass. A body is like a computer they come down in value all of the time. Lenses are more like firearms, they hold their value pretty well. There some really great lenses still in production that predate DSLRs. My <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #000000; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-themecolor: text1;"]Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 <span style="color: #ff0000;"]L<span style="color: #000000; mso-themecolor: text1;"] USM Lens[/b]is a good example of this being in production since 1995.


There is one main reason I'll get a <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #000000; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-themecolor: text1;"]Canon EOS 50D Digital SLR or contemporary equivalent XXD instead of the latest Rebel is AF Microadjustment.


If I had the cash in hand to buy a new body Iwouldn't waste money that could goto better glass.
