As an aside from listerning to the TWIT network I have been listerning to TWIP (This Week in Photography) It is hosted by Scott Bourne and Alex Lindsay. This is a great place to get detailed info on shooting tips and glimpses into the pro side of the industry.
I know it is about to be superceded by the 50D but I forgot to menssion before that I have now purchaced a 40D. I have had it about 3 months now and I am verry happy with it. I currently have 2 lenses the kit lens a 17-85 IS USM and a 70-200 f4 L USM lens that I have picked up second hand from a colegue. I am looking to get a 50mm f1.8 in the coming weeks and possibly upgrade to the 70-200 f2.8 L IS USM in the coming year.
