I have a Canon Rebel XTi and would like something better/newer. Anybody got any decent DSLRs laying around they’d be willing to part with?? (not sure if this is the right place to post this thread…) ---

Why do you feel it’s necessary to upgrade? The XTi is a great camera and investing money in a new body may not be necessary IMO. What kind of lenses do you currently own? Own an external flash? There are a lot of things that I’d recommend upgrading before the actual body. Unless you want video…then you’d need a Rebel T1i+, 60D, 7D or 5DMKII (if Canon is what you want). ---

Have an external flash, _had_ the 50mm 1.4 (RIP). I realize the lens used is one of the most important things. My problems with the camera: - The D series just feel better in my hand (insert joke…). The XTi feels kinda cheap. - My laptop has a built-in SD reader but the XTi takes CF - The button to pop out the CF card broke… :Idiots - I’d like something with higher continuous fps Video would hurt either I guess ---

It’s the plastic body rather then magnesium. The only option that really fits your criteria (in Canon) is the 60D. Has faster burst capabilities, larger/heavier magnesium and uses SD memory. Most of the higher end Canon’s use CF though. ---

Its just so many dollhairs 😢 I’m somehow surprised it’s a newer model yet the 50D still MSRP’s for more. I’d say lean towards something second hand, like a 40D or 50D but they are CF and no video option. Finding a used 60D would prob be like a unicorn, haha. Or make a compromise and get a CF camera 🙂 If you want to off the XTi, let me know. ---

Fuck camera bodies. Good glass is where its at. My 2005 technology Canon 5D serves me well and I am no where near to utilizing its full potential or even know how to use some of its features. ---
