oh, do you think 40D is enough for me? or I should go for the 5D MKII?
actually I am a newbie of photography. My first DC was purchased around this time last year. And I start using manual control camera about 9 months ago. And I have my first DSLR is just 4 months ago. Do you think it is too fast for me to go for the full frame?[s:21]
No, it is never too fast.... You should keep the 40d and buy the 5D2 also.... 40d will give you 1.6x for free, why not.... It doesn\'t matter that much what kind of equipment that you will choose.... 40D or 5D2 are great cameras no matter what.... So, the only way to imporve your skill fast is to take lots and lots of picitures... You will learn a lot when you take lots of pictures.... But my suggestion is that always summarize \"how to improve next time\" at the end of the day.... You will be a photo master soon that way.... Just look at Leandro and Kent, I think they took at least 300 thousands to 500 thousands pictures already.... They see all the extreme conditions, and they know how to handle most of them right away.... So, just begin to click your 40d shutter.... Life is good... [s:47] [s:47] [s:47]
By the way, always try to master your current equipment first..... When you feel you have beaten your equipment, or your equipment cannot fulfill what you need, then it is time to upgrade.... Otherwise, a better equipment won\'t make you a better photographer..... [s:47] [s:47]

True, after using G9 for couple weeks I think it is not enough for me in many ways.[s:15]
And same thing for my 17-85IS and 70-300DOIS, unlucky it is hard to sell the 70-300DOIS out now. [s:38]
Almost everything can be sold online these days.... It is just matter of price.... I think the 70-300mm is a good lens? Why not keeping it? [s:36] [s:36]

The picture comes out to be not very sharp, and since I have 17-55 now, I think I just need 55-250 to have full coverage.

Did you see Wilson Tsoi\'s photos with his junky Canon A620? I am sure G9 will better than that if he had G9..... [s:47] [s:47]
For me, the G9 is not good is because it is not wide angle (since I mainly take picture of landscape) and its manual focus function is hard to control when I zoom to max. But I think for now I will keep both 40D and G9. Just want to sell the 70-300DOIS at cost since I rarely use telephoto to take picture.[s:28]
Put it onto Amazon ba.... Someone is selling $999.95 as used over there.... You can try $995... I am sure you will sell....
By the way, if it is possible, buy the 70-200f4IS if you can... 70-200f4IS is much better value and performance than 55-250.... You don\'t need that 55-70mm that much....[s:21] [s:21]
If you try to buy the 5D2 later, then try to avoid the EF-s lens....
