Canon EOS 40D

I've got to consider the Canon EOS 40D. It's not the freshest EOS on the market, but it's got some features that the Rebel XSi doesn't.

Pros:
  • Excellent image quality up to ISO1600
  • ISO 3200 support
  • Better autofocus sensors than Rebel XSi
  • Faster continuous shooting
  • Good in-lens image stabilization
  • Sturdy body, good weather-sealing
  • Canon eTTL-2 flash support

Cons:
  • 10mp sensor, less than Rebel XSi
  • In-lens image stabilization
  • No eTTL-2 wireless control from built-in flash unit? (unclear)
  • $300-500 more expensive

Costco price: $1150 sale price

We did a color test at last week's S. Bay photo meetup, and both the Canon 40D and the Nikon D70/80/300 are hugely orange, even with WB set to incandescent. Using a grey card, they all went green. Photoshop is my friend...
