Whaaaatttttt there's a 40D now??? DAMN, I've been out of the photo game for waaaayyyy toooo long. What's the difference between the 40D and 30D? I know that the 30D wasn't that much different from my 20D, is it the same situation this time?

EDIT: Congrats on the camera

Congrats on the Canon, I played around with the 30D before and that was an awesome machine. Almost made me want to jump ship to Canon.

I can just imagine how good the 40D would be especially considering that the 30D was only a "slight" improvement over the 20D before it.

Greats stuff.

I'm tempted to jump from the 20 to the 40D...
