Beautiful work, Nikko! Those are really very nice photos. As for the 30D versus the 40D, sure the 40D is \'better\' since it has significant improvements such as all nine AF points being cross-type sensors, 10mp (not a big deal when compared to 8mp, which is enough for everything but really huge prints and very aggressive cropping), Live-view, better high-ISO performance. The 30D is no slouch though and is really a lovely, very complete camera. I had specific reasons for upgrading to the 7D but I plan to keep the 30D. If you can get a deal on a 30D, go for it. But if your budget can allow you to get a 40D (or 50D) and the lenses you want, that would be a great route to take.

PS-That car shot is awesome!
Lol thanks Andy, seems we crossed each other in typing out posts. Thank you very much, this is my very first photo post ever on this site and it really feels good to hear someone say they are nice to look at. You are the man! (even if u were lying to me haha jk)
To answer your question I have the budget for the 40D (wouldn\'t go 50D...rather have 7D for something so relatively new/expensive) but my main concern now is 625 for a 40D more cost effective than 700 for a 30D/85mm combo.... what do u think?
Thats my mazdaspeed3, its my baby...thanks again for the kind words, made my day!...it was my favorite shot as well...thrifty fifty and my old 400D
