I could use all the input I can get. I love my Canon XTi - but seldom use it because of my back problems. I've been hoping that Canon would come out with a micro four-thirds system by now. I've seen the Olympus and Panasonic four-thirds - and think they still need some improvement. Being a Canon "L" fan, the IQ is No. 1 priority to me and I haven't seen anything that I'm happy with yet with the new systems that have come out. At least nothing that matches the IQ of the dslr.
I just checked with a dealer who buys used equipment and can still get an excellent price for my XTi which is in like-new condition with all the original contents in the box. I realize that I won't be able to get such a good price for very long, so I'm seriously wondering if I should sell it while I have the chance. I had to sell my "L" lenses due to the weight, but I love the image quality I get with the XTi and my 50mm/f1.4 and 28mm/f1.8 lenses, but don't use it very often.
I do have the Canon G9 and the Panasonic LX3 which are both excellent point and shoots - but IMO neither matches the quality of the dslr output. I enjoy using these cameras, but much prefer the XTi. When I get a smaller dslr or four-thirds camera, I will sell the G9.
I'd appreciate any and all input and thoughts you might have.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
