If you already have Canon lenses, then stay with Canon when gettgin digital. You can use your film lenses with your new camera. 40D is a very good choice.
Check out http://www.samys.com they have good photography info on their products, manufact. rebates.
I have to agree with the previous poster regarding the Canon XTi, saving money you can sink into lenses. But, you may want to read this first: http://ezinearticles.com/?Dont-Ever-Buy-…
If your Canon lens is an EF (Electronic focus) lens you can use it. If it’s the older FD series you can’t. If it’s not a canon brand it may or may not work with a newer Canon digital (depending on age). I know many of the older Sigma AF lenses won’t adjust aperture on the digital bodies. Some of these can be rechipped by Sigma so they work properly.
The 40D is a very capable camera and I think a great choice (especially if you can use your existing lenses).
Canon AF lenses will work on the 40D. Manual focus won’t.
The 40D has live view and a big LCD, which are nice features but non-essential.
The 400D (Rebel XTi) will take the same pictures and save you enough $$ for another lens.
Up 2 U though.
HTH.
