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
