    I'll wait to see if it has issues. Probably get it next spring, and dump my 20D on Ebay. Weather proof is a huge plus. I was a little worried in the rain at Road America last weekend. All my "L" stuff with the exception of the 100-400 is weather proof too, so I'll be able to shoot in the pouring rain.

      I like the sensor cleaning as well. I was looking at a xti over a 30D because of it. Now I think I will wait a little longer. That is assuming that my Digital Rebel holds togethor a little longer. Had it since 2003, and going strong.

        Figures... I bought a 30D on Friday. Oh well, I guess I'll have the warm fuzzy from using it for the next year.

          The 30D works great! I can't complain. It takes better shots right out of the box than any(film) camera I've ever owned. The only thing we need now is a nice L lense.

            It's hard to resist the temptation to pre-order... but I will. My plan is to wait for the web/mag reviews to roll in, listen to the internet chatter and then check the bank account and see if it's a viable option. Either way, I don't think I'll ever dump my 20D. I can always use it as a back up or pit body.

              I purchased a 40D today, so you should see some shots here when I get back from the races on Monday.

              It got great reviews from the counter guys at the camera shop and a fellow customer that said his father-in-law loves his (and he had a 5D).

                As some of you know, I had problems with my 30D at Reno. the good news is Best Buy not only took it back after their 14 day return period, they let me trade it straight across for a 40D. I'm impressed. I just picked it up this evening, but I already like it better than the 30.
