I'm having problems getting my camera to hold a charge long enough to take a few photos. Plus the quality is just going downhill since it is old and only 1.3 mpx. My deviations may be on hiatus until sometime after Christmas when I can (hopefully) get my new camera. I'm torn between how much I want to spend on a camera and the different models available right now. I have pretty much decided to go with Canon, but which model I'm not sure. I have done traditional 35mm photography so I understand how to use a more complicated camera, but the question is what is the quality difference between the Canon 30D and the Canon 400D Digital Rebel XTi?

I wanted the 20D until the 30D came out, but I'm not entirely confident in my abilities to figure out how to use it properly. I'm so unsure and that kind of money is huge for us and this kind of investment is bigger than buying a car to me.

Stick around, I'll start posting some pictures again eventually.
