Looks like there will be no update on the 30D, which I see is causing
a number of Canon users to say they'll be switching to the Nikon D200
because they're tired of waiting for the "40D". ....

Those posts really crack me up. I really think it's just hobbyists, who think that Canon is going to be threatened to be put out of business because 2 wanna-be hobbyist on an internet forum are threatening to buy a different brand. Jeez, Canon comes out with an updated DSLR every 4 weeks...WTF are these people complaining about??? What exactly will the 40D do that the 20D won't do, and not having this feature immediately is forcing someone to have to go out and buy a different brand of camera? That has amateur gear-head written all over it.

Seriously though, hasn't the 30D been out less than a year?? Hell, even Glen just bought the 30D in the past year didn't he? So it obviously can't be that old! Tongue

I don't keep up with Canon, but I do read the Olympus DSLR forum on DPReview ever week or two. And the armchair photographers do the same thing...try to make threats of buying a different brand of DSLR because Olympus hasn't came out with a pro body since the released the first true digital SLR in 2003. But it still begs the question...what does the E-1 lack that you have to have immediately or be forced to buy a different brand of camera. Please. Sure, it's only 5.1 megapixel, which is low by today's standards, but just how many megapixels does a hobbyist need to take pictures of their dog/cat/ugly girlfriend, or pictures of two people eating cake?Laugh

You need at least 6 MP to take a picture of the cat because it is smaller than the dog and you have to do a digital blow-upCool

I think people wanted the sensor cleaning on the 40D that the XTi has. But then, most people I read about don't have problems with a dirty sensor because they leave their primary lense on the camera or are a little careful when changing lenses. As for photo quality, the 30D takes a fine picture, as does the 20D, the 10D, the Nikon line, etc...

I had the cliff notes version of your exact post written last night but decided not to click post. I agree 100% however. It's gadget-addicts at work...again.

....I think people wanted the sensor cleaning on the 40D that the XTi has......

I didn't have my Olympus E-500 long enough to appreciate that feature, but I can see how Canon people would be excited about getting it in a new prosumer 40D. But it's a perfect example of one of those things that 10D/20D/30D owners didn't have in the first place, but now threaten to buy an entirely different brand of camera (without that very feature), just to SPITE Canon for not coming out with a new model every 6 months.

Then again, the whining on the Olympus forums is starting to get understandale. I think the E-1 came out in 2003. While it was the first true SLR to be designed for digital, first SLR with a dust shaker, has a weatherproof body, etc, and is still a pretty cool camera, they're really going to have to blow people away with something innovative again after this long without a new pro body.

In the meantime, I want to cash in on buying the "old" stuff, and get another E-500 before going on vacation with my family...the bodies are only like $440 now! Gotta find some more old gear to put on eBay!! Cool
