Not to mention your bank manager of course. Seriously though, I guess one could say that I'm in the fortunate position of being able to afford anything I like, within reason of course. However, I shall stick with my 40D for quite some time to come yet because despite the pressures of advertising (either by camera manufacturers or magazines etc) I know that I still have an awful lot to learn about getting the best out of this camera.

My advice would be to discover first what is your style/personal interest in photography, practise, practise, practise until you know the limitation of both yourself and your present equipment. Don't be afraid to experiment, after all digital doesn't cost anywhere near what film photography used to cost. Only when you reach the limits of what your equipment is capable of, and understanding why this is, should you consider upgrading - and only then to what you need and not what any advertisers say you need. I can't tell you how many sets of golf clubs my father has got through and still that hole-in-one eludes him.
