How can you keep up. I just recently bought the 40D.... If i can turn back time lalalala.

[Montague S]

haven't even clocked up 10,000 shots with the 30D...anyways, I certainly don't want 15mb raw images on my CF or PC for that matter.

[Beau Chenery]

I just bought the 40D last Wednesday..

[Brenden S]

I am just about to click over 10,000 shots on my 30D. just hit over 9000 today at the zoo.

[Nigel C]

Over 9000 shots in one day at a zoo?!

[Brenden S]

No, took just on 1000 shots actually. My camera was red hot. Looks like I got myself a new Birthday pressie being shipped in October.

The 50D is going to run alongside the 40D until atleast February, 40D will get a pricedrop down to $1299 RRP body only. The 50D will also be available to Retailers (not just pro stores, like the 40D until very recently) so there should be a lot more competition on price.
