Just something to go along with Adam's topic... what camera features would be the most important to you? What would cause you to buy one over another?
ISO/noise, lens compatibility, flash/accessories, metering, continuous shooting, build quality, size, image quality, megapixels, etc...

I don't actually have the features I want. I like to take quick grab shots so I need a fast acting camera. My digital takes a long time to prepare itslef for a shot so I miss a lot of opportunities. I want at least 5 or 6 megapixels of resolution enabling me to make better crops. I use a wide angle lens and crop in important images.
Maybe I should work differently, but that's how I have learned to work.
Nikon D3100 with Tokina 28-70mm f3.5, (I like to use a Vivitar .43x aux on the 28-70mm Tokina), Nikkor 10.5 mm fisheye, Quanteray 70-300mm f4.5, ProOptic 500 mm f6.3 mirror lens.

Canon's already very good for low noise. Great selection of lenses. So if I did upgrade within the Canon system, it would be for better flash metering.

YEah .. the 300D starts up way too slow..
Flash exposure compensation would be good ..

I like low noise, build quality, and lens range.
TBH, I would be happy with a good sensor, good build and good lenses, and no gadgets. A totally manual DSLR, like the old days.
