    Duration of ownership:5 Days

    Strengths: Pretty much everything. Easy button opperation, and great controls. Clairety and picture are great.

    Weaknesses: Takes a good bit of reading to know how to work everything. Some simple things take a while to figure out. Like pop up flash and manual modes, but that is expected.

    Overall Evaluation: Its brand new and it is leaps and bounds over the 30d. It is similar to the XTi but still better. More weather durable and more pro-type handling. Shutter speed is amazing, and has many many modes. I like shooting black and white and sepia and it is great with them. It is a little pricey but if you plan on using it not just buying it to look at and let collect dust I'd say go for it. Watch out buying the cheapest one online because its a non-us version, it will have a plastic frame and has no warrantee.

    Duration of ownership:1

    Strengths: 9 cross-type AF sensors all sensitive to f/5.6; faster and deeper buffer; EF-S and EF lense compatibility; great looking ISO1600 shots; 6.5fps; instant-on; large playback LCD; liveview; custom dials

    Weaknesses: Comparing it to higher priced cameras, several. Comparing it to lower priced cameras, none. I wish this had 8fps or 15AF points, but you can't have your cake and eat it, too.

    Overall Evaluation: I just purchased this camera after deciding it was time to move up from a 10D. I can say that the 3" screen, while nothing special at first, is truly something to behold. Live view was neat, and I could see situations where that would come in handy. Overall, people need to determine what the features they need are, and purchase what accomodates those needs. This camera satisfied my needs, and I am glad I got it.
