I have a question for all you camera-smart people here!
...............
I want to put a D-SLR on my wish list for this christmas (in hopes DH will get it for me or maybe get my parents to go in with him for a joint gift) and I am having trouble telling the difference between the different models. I think I want to stick with Canon - my current camera is a canon, my old SLR and even my digital video camera (Elura 100) is a Canon. Also, they all use CF memory cards which is the same as my current camera. Since I expect to be using both my Powershot and the new camera I would like them to have the same memory card type.
It looks like there are 4 different models that are within a price range that there is "hope" I might get (There isn't much point asking for a camera that costs thousands with a TOAL to be paid for also!) As you can see, there is quite a price range among these 4.
Digital Rebel XT - $500-$600
Digital Rebel XTi - $700-$800
EOS 30D - $1000-$1300
EOS 40D - $1300-$1500
What are the main, big differences between these cameras? I know some of it is 8 vs 10 megapixels, but I don't think I'm that concerned with that. I rarely print anything larger than 8x10. I do often crop so having some extra pixel depth for that is good.
Obviously, I am not a pro and probably don't even qualify as pro-sumer. I currently take about 2000 photos per year (goes up each year, so I'll probably be approaching 3000/year soon!) However, I also am not a novice who has never used anything but point-n-click. Before digital, I used my AE-1 a lot - enough that DH and I have 6 or 7 lenses, a couple tripods, an external flash, etc. I enjoy playing around with my camera and trying different stuff. I managed to take some pretty good long-exposure shots of our house with xmas lights last year with just my Powershot A80!
I am assuming that my old AE-1 lenses won't work with any of these, so to start with I would just have the lens that came with the body.
Sorry for being so long winded here - the crux of it is, does anyone have any insight into the difference between these cameras and which one might be right for me?

Actually, as long as we are on the camera/photo subject ....
Those of you who shoot a LOT of photos - how do you organize and keep track of your pictures? I currently have about 13,000 files under "My Photos" and it is getting harder and harder to find what I want. Many pictures have multiple files (original, cropped/edited, downsized for email, etc.) so I haven't taken 13,000 photos (YET!)
I have been looking at different software - Picasa doesn't seem powerful enough (although FREE is nice!) and several others I have looked at have pros/cons. I am currently leaning toward a program called IDImager.
I am just curious how others handle this - particularly those who seem to shoot A LOT more photos than I do!

Why am I working & not on the Ship????!!!!
Ah well, I guess I have to pay for this trip somehow. I get to console myself this weekend by going to Seattle to hang out with my parents. That's a happy thought. With luck it'll get me through the next part of work...
I would like to assume Disney recycles them somehow. HOwever... who knows what they do with the things they must find?
