The sealing on my 40D is much better (hence the different battery grip model number from the 30D), but it's still not great, and I'm sure not convinced the sensor clean function on the 40D does any good at all!

Hopefully the 50D has improved upon the sealing even more, and has a sensor clean worth *****!

I would be interested in a report on it after you've used it a few times Darren, as my 30D is coming due for replacement (or handing down!) and I'm considering whether to go with the 50D or to stretch to the 5D MkII.

Cheers
