Sticking with Canon? 40D or 50D

Going to Nikon? D90 or D700($$$)

thanks Rob! still figuring out how i'm going to open the raw files since i have CS2 on my desktop, and CS2 doesn't support D700. i do have CS3 on my laptop, and CS3 does support D700. i'll see, no hurry right now since there's a bunch of things i need to take care of first.

like what Gagan said, are you sticking with Canon or going over to Nikon?

i was testing it at work, and i punched it up to 6400. made a 12x18 and my god it's clean. it was even out of box settings, so it'll get even cleaner than that. i want to get rid of the 24-120 since i have lenses that covers that range, so anyone want to buy one? the 17-35/2.8 isn't going anywhere though.

D700 is coming down in price now. you can get one from ritz for 2g. i'm thinking after the holiday season, it'll probably come down even more.

hey guys i'm looking at buying a flash for my canon xti do any of you guys have any suggestions? I was looking at the bower SFD35C since it's pretty well priced (cheap) but was just wondering if anyone else had anything better to suggest at a resonable price. Oh and with the 35c from what i've read I gotta measure the distance and stuff myself but does anyone have a recommendation that will have the flash do all the work? Thanks!

yeh i agree with you, but here is the thing.... hot models excitement lasts only a few minutes and in case of older men like me, seconds... engine on the other hand, now that can last a very long time.

And that right there is why I have three old ducati's in my house. I can throttle them anytime, clutch them, And kick the $h1t out of them and not worry about going to jail.

But just like a old bag they do also steal all my money and make lots of noise for the nieghbors at times....

The nice part about all this? When I flip the off switch, They know their place and they shut up...!!!

yep, when a motor blows, you can get another one... no dating required... no 4play required... just Plug and Play.

no dating is required, but a motor typically costs more than a bottle of wine
