Hey, thanks for the link. I am about to purchase the XT from BestBuy aswell.
I wish they would offer the body only though...

This should be great! In a week or so people will complain about focusing problems. Then they will compare it to the 20d and 1d MKII wondering what model to buy, cause after all the XT has most of the features of the other 2 bodies and somehow will be better in some respects.

I can't wait. I love Canon, but I dread when a new body comes out for the forums.

I was thinking the same thing... I dread Canon's new camera releases. I am also betting someone will start rambling that it is better then the 1DsMKII!!!

An XT FAQ thread would be useful, to point people to, and to cut and paste from. Every so often the newly-refined FAQ could be reposted to start a thread so that the thread size could be kept manageable.

Out of curiosity, how are these people getting their XT's early? I thought it wasn't supposed to be released until the 20th? I saw some other people replying to that thread and stating they were getting their XT's this week from Best Buy and even B&H. Am I missing something?

I think when a new body comes out there should be a temporary forum for just that body.

I was probably one of those people who posted a cat photo when I got my frist DSLR.

Why isn't there a separate forum for cat photos?

I wonder what Greg thinks about posting a review over there and coming over here and finding a link. Saves him some time I guess.

Whereas I most enjoy reading all the folks here congratulating themselves about not photographing their cats or brick walls.

Does anybody know where the name "Peace Frog" originated?

(No googling allowed. That's cheating.)

I'm not sure, but it probably doesn't mean "hippie". That guy has way too much expensive photo equipment to be a hippie:

Jeesh. He must have inherited an ocean of oil.

Hah!! I was about to point out his equipment collection!
Don't know why he would need all three versions of the 300mm. I could use one of them!!
