I'm very tempted to just splash out and get one during the cashback period!

Thing is, I dont know if its just me wanting a shiny new camera. Has anyone who's moved from a 20D felt like it wasnt worth the upgrade after the purchase? Or can you persuade me its a great idea and not eating for a month is worth it!
 
The screen on a 40D is a different league - things seem better spaced on the camera too.

It sits "nicer" in my hand, not had a proper play but will do at the weekend :)

Yeah the live view looks interesting. As a whole though I dont generally use the screen (actually have it turned off!) as I find it rapes the battery a little too much.
 
Blimey you must go some to kill the battery, my batteries last for ages
and the screen is on loads :S.

I didnt actually mean for live view but for previewing photos its exellent

Moved from a 20D to a 40D about a week ago. Havent really had the chance to go out an have a play yet, but i can honestly say, im really happy with the upgrade.

Everything seems better, screen, noise, functions etc... i'm not looking back :)
 
Read an article just now comparing both cameras and the upgrade does seem worth it. Called a high street shop to see how much I would be offered on a trade in for the 20D and they offered 150-170! Shocking :(
 
The 20D is such a good camera too! Cant believe its so cheap considering how much I paid just over a year ago. Still works great so I'll just keep it unless I can sell it for more!!
 
Yeah. The cashback promotion runs till the end of June so I'll just save up an extra £200 and keep the 20D as a second body! Saves me having to swap over lenses at events which would be handy.
