well, just when i thought my mind was made up on getting the canon 40d; i call a local electronics store because i want to look at a 50d they had ordered for another customer (anything over Rebel quality is special ordered from this place, they don't keep 40d/50d in stock). all i wanted to do was hold and check out the camera because the 40d and 50d have the same body.

i ask the employee about this and he hands the phone to the manager. the manager says the guy who ordered the 50d ducked out and won't buy it after all. and says he'll "make me an offer i can't refuse". i don't know what the hell that's supposed to mean but it sounds like he wants to get rid of the 50d.

if he offers the 50d to me for the same price as the 40d (maybe $50-$100 more (canadian dollers) is it worth it? (they're both kits and the 50d has a better kit lens than the 40d i think)(40d had 17-85mm and 50d has 17-55mm... i think)

i've been reading that the 50d is not worth the extra $ over a 40d. but if you were to choose one or the other for the same price, which one would you get?

this is a dilemma for me cause i don't have the money for either right away, but if a 50d for the price of a 40d is really that good of a deal i have to make up my mind quick.

i'm driving over there in a few hours to talk with him about it.

I NEED ADVICE!!!!!!!

HELLLP!!!!!
