Would you swop a 400D for a 30D????

[sturs]

I have the chance to swop my 400D for a 30D and a small amount of cash. Is this a good deal or should I hang on and sell the 400D and then buy a 40D??

The extra cash would come in handy for a new lens I am saving for??

That depends on whether you feel the 400D is lacking anywhere.

it depends on your circumstances - i would, just for the better build quality and handling

Yeah its a good deal, its a better build camera and has more features as well as 5fps. But 30D go for around £300 now, you may as well save another £100 and buy a 40D, worth the extra IMHO. Bigger lcd screen, live view, 10mp, 6.5fps etc.

I would say that as far a choosing between the **D and the ***D, there are probably only 2 things to consider, which fits your hand better and do you think you will need the metal body over the plastic one

My question would be why would someone want to swap the other way, and pay for it?

 

[sturs]

The reason I am thinking about it is due to the high number of shots I take, In average I will shoot around 500 shots per week. Also all the photography I do is outside and this time of year in seems to be in the rain. Is the 30D more suited for these conditions and the amount of shots I am taking??

Touch wood to date my 400D has been faultless, as far as grip goes I had to add the battery grip to it to feel more stable with the 75-300 lens fitted.

Emm now you got me thinking, perhaps I should just wait and save enough money to buy a 40D and keep the 400D as back up. I don't know what I would do without a camera if it failed , lol

Neither is waterproof, the 30d is built tougher and has a higher frame rate, other than that I doubt you'll see any difference IQ wise.
