Thanks -- it seems the new Canon should be a real contender for me. IF I can afford it and still get good lenses, tripods etc etc . . .that is what's iffy right now. Budget is a real concern. I need to weigh the accessories prices into this as well . . .

I'm not loyal to any brand right now, this will be my first dslr.

Have any of you actually used the new Canon yet?? My local store will not even have one for me to look at for a couple months.

IMO if you want to shot video get a video recorder. DSLRs are not video cameras. They are by original design designed to shoot stills. If you want to shoot video buy a piece of equipment designed to shoot video. There are video recorders on the market that will shoot full HD 1080P @ 16:9 with Dolby Digital audio encoding straight onto a hard drive for less then $3,000 that are professional enough to create professional movies with.

A picture is about the photographer not the camera. I have seen a guy with a $4,000 camera get showed up by a guy with a $600 camera. Keep that in mind when you get in the mind set that buying a more expensive camera will by default product brilliant photos. Yes quality cameras does give an additional boost in final picture quality but not if you don’t know how to make the absolute most of the camera in the first place.
