i actually thought about that point. However, the used market is just so tempting now, i can get a xsi w/ kit lens for $525 CAD or 40D body alone for $700. Plus, for these price, we are talking about barely used mint condition here.
I guess the only part which i should consider carefully is whether to invest into a good lens or not. the 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM at $1200 CAD, it costs nearly twice as much as a 40D body.
