    The 50d is coming out tomorrow and I'm hoping there is a price drop for the 40d. So you may want to wait a few weeks and see if the price drops. That's what I'm going to do!

    I use xpbargains.com, dealcatcher.com, and slickdeals.net to find my deals.

    The best places to buy on line are B&H, Adorama, BuyDig, and Beach. Always check out how your reseller does with customers at Resellerratings.com. Very often the lowest price isn't the best bargain.

    I've had good luck with Beach Camera. I've purchased a camera from them almost 2 years ago, and a few weeks ago I bought a lens. Both of my orders came on time, and there's different shipping options, ranging from free (this can take 2 weeks) all the way up to next day, and a few options in between. Plus, to most states, there's no sales tax.

    Please take a look at our Dealer Feedback forum. B&H is the most popular and trusted camera dealer here. And for good reason. They have nearly everything, and then some. They're also entirely trustworthy and have very good prices. Here's a link to their Canon EOS 40D review page:

    I've spent thousands of dollars over the years at B&H and feel completely comfortable recommending them. If you're ever in NYC, their store is a must see for serious photographers. It's a whole city block and like I said, they've got everything.

    Don't rule out Canoga. They had the best price on the Canon 100-400L when I was in the market and it shipped out the next day.

    Canoga is great! I've spent thousands with them, too. They're prices are usually very competitive and they have great service. I bought my first DSLR from Canoga.

    I'll also note that the release of the 50D means that there should be plenty of people dumping used 40Ds. The going price on craigslist appears to be in the $700-750 range for the body, which gives you $100-200 to put towards a good lens.

    I may be one of those dumpers.

    I'm not dumping my 20D, just keep it for extreme shots - like bolted to the car on the track.
    I don't think it's worth enough to be worth selling now.
