Canon announced the new 40D SLR. It sure is sexy.
It really is true that no matter how much you think you have all of the toys you could possibly need, something new comes out. The 40D isn't really a giant leap above the 10D, though improved auto focus would be a plus. That's why I originally upgraded from the D60 way back in the day, but it has never been great. I honestly don't really need it though. I'm not shooting enough to justify it.
I still would like a better short-medium zoom lens though. That $90 piece of crap I have now is just not very pretty to look at compared to my big 70-200 f/4 L. I still really would like the 24-105mm f/4 L, which has exactly the range you can use probably 90% of the time that you aren't shooting stuff across a field.
Of course, your glass gets partially wasted in most of the consumer/hobbyist SLR's because of the field crop. In other words, the sensor only sees a portion of what the glass sees, so you don't get the whole picture. The 5D is the least expensive camera they make with a full-size image sensor, but it ain't cheap. They do have a kit though, that has both the 5D and the dreamy lens.
I really need some less expensive hobbies. And I need new carpet too.
