I'm in a position now, to upgrade from the 400D but I'm tied over the 40D and 50D. I'm nowhere near being able to afford the 5d mkII yet.
Is the 50D good enough to justify the extra £300-400 over the 40D?
I've already used a 40D and have liked it. Am going down to Digital Depot today to try out the 50D but I really can't decide over them. the 15mp would be nice to have I guess, but do I really need to pay a premium at the moment for that?
Things I need out of an upgrade
Better handling than the 400D at high ISO
Quiet shutter mechanism (none of the click..whirr of the 400)
What I'm using it for
Events
Portrait/Studio
Motorsport/Airshow
Wildlife
Landscape
(so pretty much everything then )
