Well my beautiful 5DMII is on eBay and will sell so now I need to figure out what to get to replace that. I was planning on a used 40D but wanted to see what everyone else thought. Money is the big issue (hopefully in a few years and can start getting nice stuff again but for now it needs to be cheap) I would like to find one under $250 but I could go to $300. I still have a speedlite and my 50mm 1.4 But that is about all the gear I am keeping for now. So do I just go with the 40D? Is there something a bit better for that price point?
Would going with a cheaper mirrorless be beneficial and selling the 50mm as I am pretty much out of canon gear at this point? Something like the sonya3000?
I am not up to speed on all the alternatives out there but I have nothing but praise for the Canon40D. I have taken some of my best/favourite photos on a 40D and I suspect you can pick up a good used one very cheap these days.

under $200 regularly on eBay, often with extras. Kinda scared dropping down from the 5D but I think I jumped up too quickly anyway.
My primary camera in now an Olympus micro 4/3 that was $250 with 2 lenses. Image quality is a little better than my 50D or (now dead) Rebel T2i. I was thinking about upgrading it to a 14-42 pancake lens s it can carry in a jersey pocket while cycling. I take a lot of risks with my camera, so I tend to buy good but inexpensive used ones.
