I have really been enjoying the XT, I'm sure the XTi is just as good of a camera. I am looking to upgrade though to maybe the 30D (5D if I'm lucky, we'll see) since I want something that is going to be a little more durable. I have some vacations planned and will be doing extensive travel and want the magnesium body and higher ISO performance. The XT feels good in my hands but is a little on the small side, I quickly got used to it though. And every picture I post is processed in photoshop. I adjust the levels, do color correction, sharpening if needed (the 100mm is a razor sharp lens), crop, and a few other tricks. Thanks for the comments everyone!

maybe i missed it but what brand 100mm are you using?
i too am planning long travels and wanted a decent DSLR for it.
i LOVE the feel of a 30 or 20D in my hands.... nothing beats it... i might just have to splurge.

a 5D would be a dream, haha ... let me know if you know of any good spots to pick up any camera mentioned above.

. I adjust the levels, do color correction,

LOL thats like 40 million diff. things right there.
:razz:

I will actually get my next camera from Costco just because of their return policy, you can return anything anytime. I can get a 30D/5D and then return it to upgrade when I want. I used my last Kodak camera for nine months before I returned it and got my XT Oh, the 100mm F/2.8 is the Canon version.

I had a Kodak DX7590. It was an ok camera for point and shoot but didn't have RAW which I consider a necessity. Here are some new ones:

What ISO, f, and shutter do typically shoot?

I have the same lens! Excellent!

 

[Blazer88]

I generally use ISO 100, F/8-16'ish, and a shutter of 1/4 to 5 seconds depending on light (I use aperture priority).

Here are a few more.

[spongebob lover]

you know you should quit your job and just take pictures ...you do a heck of a job seriously dood

 

[Blazer88]

Somehow I don't think it would pay the same, lol. It's a great side hobby though. I have been working with multiple companies now to sell them images for marketing/packaging stuff, so I'm getting a little something back. All of which of course goes into new camera gear
