[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 379622, member: 29446"] Depends on what they want and practicality. I just got a 30d and the next step up in the Canon line, price wise, is the 5d. Which doesn't make sense as even though it has higher mp, it also has slower fps. If I were to step up to anything else, I'd buy a 1d, which I can't see myself needing unless I start doing photography full time and as a business. That's over $3000 for something that's not needed.
