Decided to upgrade my camera!

As the title says, i have decided to upgrade my camera. I have used a Canon Rebel XT for the last year and some. I bought mint condition Canon EOS 30D the other day :) I think it will be a nice upgrade for me, As i found the XT to be very small bodied. I have large hands, as i am a bigger guy. I have played with the 30D at a local shop and loved the feel of it back then. Im waiting for it to arrive by USPS and then ill have to get out and do some shooting with it! I plan to keep the XT in my bag as a backup, just incase haha. I would of loved to buy a 40D or 50D but im currently unemployed and going to school, so my funds arent as available as i wish they were. Im sure i will love the 30D though.

I also will be picking up the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L once i recieve my income tax return!
I have loved that lense ever since the time i used my friends!
