Hi guys!
I know there are a lot of professionals between you, and I need your opinion.
Right now I own a Canon 450D and a Sigma 24-70. I love the lens (thanks to PZ). I want to updrage the body to 40D. Is it worth?
Danke!

I have the 40D (and the 5DII) and don't think you should change from the 450D which is a fine camera, with a better sensor than the one in the 40D which has one of Canon's least impressive sensors. High ISO performance of the 40D is disappointing; I never go above ISO 400 and even there, it's not too impressive. Yes, the build is better and the VF brighter, and you get slightly better FPS, but are they enough reason to change? The images won't be any better. If you check out the DPR tests, they rate the 450D higher in terms of IQ.
