Just remember the camera will not magically make your images better. There is a property to digital that (for me) makes it more difficult than film (as oppose to slide). This has to do with DR and the fact that shadows are much harsher (or to me appear harsher) than it did with film. There are many situations when I used film and a fill flash was not really necessary where as now with digital I find it more critical (or regret not using one when I examine a recent set of beach pictures).
Further because I've not really learned the art of post processing (yet) I find the colour and tone range of digital not as pleasing as film. Last but least due to how the sensor act to the angle of light lens and lens design is more critical.
Having said that the one thing that make FF appeal to me is DOF control; I did recently pick up a 5d2 and have used it but a bit (about 40 images so far) with old c/y lenses I have. I should probably post a couple of the images.
Anyways I am currently using an XSI with 16-85 and 5D2 with c/y lenses and I think I will stick with that for a bit. I could never see myself getting a 70D or 60D. I simply do not understand how they will improve things over the XSI (I'm not taking BIF (bird in flight) images and those are much heavier cameras than the XSI.
Currently the only camera that peaks my curiosity is the GH2 (but if I were to seriously consider it I would have to sell one of the current cameras; and to be honest I only use 1 at at time so two is probably over kill for as little photography I do these days).
