Yes I have actually, and I do really love the additional weight and feeling of sturdiness.

i say this becuz i read somewhere that due to the higher pixel count of the newer models, a nicer lens is needed to produce better pictures, where as in something like the 40D and what you have, the pictures dont come out as soft
Sweet, thanks that's something I have not read.

One thing to be ready for, though, is that it's a fair bit larger and heavier than the 300D. Not ridiculously so, but it is a bigger camera. The menus and button layouts are a little different, but not terribly so. The other bonus is that you can still use your 300D's battery with it as well, as a spare/backup.
Awesome...I guess I shouldn't try to sell my spare batteries with my camera then ...

And yah I looked at the 30d, but the 40d did look like quite an improvement over the 30d. On the otherhand the 50d didn't look to be worth the extra $$.
