I have read the posts concerning the differences between the two (20d and 30d)...but still need some help. :)
...and I think I'll stick with Canon, since that's what my other lenses are.
Since my 20d was stolen on friday, it appears my insurance will cover the replacement cost. Should I just pony up the few extra bucks (out of my pocket, of course) to get a 30d?
Is there any reason for me to just get another 20d?
How 'bout this scenario, at B&H:
$ 1,499.95 - Canon EOS 30D, with Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Autofocus Lens
- or -
$ 1,579.95 - Canon EOS 20D, with Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Autofocus Lens
I don't know that I would upgrade from 20D to 30D, but *definitely* if your choice is between 20D or 30D as a replacement, go for it. You'll like the improvements.
The 30D body-only is selling at so close to the 20D price that I can't imagine NOT getting the 30D. It's worth it for the 2.5" LCD alone. Trust me :-)

I'd have to agree. Even if the differences are minimal (2.5" LCD aside) they are improvements. Heck, if you can pony up the other $2000, a 5D might look pretty tempting.
I think the 30D is a pretty easy choice over the 20D unless you get a great deal. I will certainly not upgrade from the 20 to 30 but from nothing I would pony up the bit extra for the 30, just for the spot-meter.
I'm sitting here considering selling my blood to help raise the money to pay off my 30D. Maybe I should just get insurance on my Olympus and get it stolen.... Okay, I'm kidding (sorta). But, I'll definitely come up with the money to insure my 30D when I get it.

You should never finance toys.

I didn't finance it. It's on lay-away. I should be able to bring the new baby home by the first of June. Part of how I'm paying for it is trading my Olympus, but I'd like to keep the Olympus as a back-up camera. That's why I was thinking of selling my blood. To raise the money I would get for trading the Olympus.
