I sold my Digital Rebel two weeks ago. I am going to receive the 20D
tomorrow from Amazon. ;-)
Now, waiting for the 580EX flash from Dell (3+weeks according to their
website).

If money is tight, Nikon D70 is a good buy.

If SWMBO would let me upgrade my DR, I'd get a 20D.

You might want to take a look at the Pentax Ist-DS. It has some great
features, especially in auto mode. It's also a lot smaller and lighter than
any of the Canons or Nikons.
