Nice tilt-shift! You're learning, grasshopper!
I bought myself a 5D Mk II for Christmas in anticipation of a busier wedding season. Got to really put it through it's paces during Christmas, and here are some results (all taken with 5DMkII and Sigma 50mm f/1.4 or Canon 100mm f/2.8L Macro).

Thanks I was your photo's that introduced me into the art of tilt shift I don't do many as it has to be the perfect location but when I do it I always love it

Holy CRAP that's a lot of smiley faces!!!!! You use them like periods! I've used a 5D Classic quite a bit, and I'll advise you against it. It will disappoint you. The LCD screen is too small, ISO performance isn't great, focus is quite bad. My Mark II is a phenomenal machine, and you'll be much happier if you continue to save up and get a MkII.
As for forums, I prefer dpreview.com among the photo groups. A more diverse group, much more to read, and some great people (though I admit there are some guys there who refuse to help those who want to learn, and spend their time harassing the new guys and telling them they suck). I am also a creature of habit and have the same username there.

Since you guys are discussing camera bodies a bit, I thought I'd throw my question out there:
I'm hoping to upgrade camera bodies at some point in the next year or so. I currently have a Rebel XS, which has served me just fine, but I'd like 1.) a few more megapixels (XS has 10), 2.) faster frame rate and larger burst (XS has 1.5 and approx 3, respectively, when shooting RAW), 3.) higher max ISO (XS has 1600).
Those are my main considerations, though having HD movie recording might be cool as well, but that's a bonus, not an essential.
I was originally considering the T3i/600D, but then I realized that the T2i/550D appears almost identical with a lower price. The T2i has 18 MP, 3.7 frames/sec, max 6 frames RAW burst, and max ISO6400. Additionally it has the DIGIC 4 processor, versus the DIGIC 3 in the XS. I believe the T3i has the same specs, as far as what I listed.
My max budget will probably be around $800, unless I wait even longer (though it may not change!). My question is simple - is this a worthwhile upgrade? Should I instead look for something like a used 7D or 50D? While I'd love to jump to the XXD series, there's quite a price jump there as well.
Thanks for any and all input!

If $800 is your max, the T2i or T3i would be the way to go. Or I would think by now, you can pick up a 50D for that price by now, especially used.
Otherwise my recommendation would be to save up for the 7D. I absolutely LOVE mine.
Anyway, back to photo sharing! I uploaded this one to Flickr today.
Upgrading from a Rebel to a Rebel isn't worth it at all. Remember that, for all intents and purposes, more megapixels in the same size sensor will yield worse noise performance and lesser quality (even though the new Rebels have more megapixels, the sensor's physical size is the same, so you're getting higher pixel density which causes more noise).
If you're going to upgrade, do it right. Go from a Rebel to a XXD or a 7D (or even a 5D - you can get a new 5D Mk II for under 2,000 dollars now). I use a 50D and I love it. Paired with some nice fast glass (the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 was my favorite lens until I sold it) it's just stellar.
Now. Having said all that. Getting new, high-quality glass (like the 17-40L you just ordered) will give you a far more significant upgrade then moving to a new body but keeping your same lenses. If you were to pair your Rebel with a Canon 35L or a Canon 50L (though probably too expensive for you) then you'd be absolutely blown away, I guarantee it. Even the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 that I just bought would open up quality you didn't think was possible in the Rebel.
You also mentioned noise performance was a concern. Just because the 7D has a higher maximum ISO, doesn't mean it performs better. I'm very disappointed with my 50D's noise performance, even at ISO800. It creates the need for post-processing noise reduction which takes time to do well. If you really, really want good noise performance, you have to either move to Nikon (if you want to stay in crop bodies) or move to a full-frame like the 5D.

Quoting ANITIX87 (Reply 9): Upgrading from a Rebel to a Rebel isn't worth it at all.
I agree. I see a lot of people do this, and I always scratch my head. I went from the XTi to the obsolete 40D and even that was considered an upgrade even though megapixel count was identical. I wanted the upgrade in features, not image quality. Better build, more features etc. made it a worthwhile upgrade.

If you really, really want good noise performance, you have to either move to Nikon (if you want to stay in crop bodies) or move to a full-frame like the 5D.
Even though the max ISO on the 7D is the same as the newer Rebels, the 7D performs better at the high ISOs, in my opinion. It's not easy, but I have taken some decent stuff at ISO 6400. The 5D is WAY better at that ISO, but you can't really compare the 5Dmk2 to the cropped cameras.
But again, when I got my used 7D, I was looking for better features. Higher ISO range was nice, and I can shoot at 1600-2000 no problem (unlike the rebels), but I wanted the larger, high res screen, the internal leveler, the better auto focus, and the faster burst rate. If you like to fire off brackets, 8FPS lets you fire off handheld brackets, no problem! So yeah, the megapixel jump is usually the last thing on my mind when I choose to upgrade.

Like I said, I'd love to go to a 50D, and if the price is right, I will certainly do it.
It actually appears that the 60D is cheaper....I remember reading some relatively negative opinions of it, though.

True, and I'm excited as hell for the 17-40L to arrive! However, it won't give me a higher frame rate, higher burst, or higher max ISO, all of which I would like. I suppose you would consider those "features" rather than image quality issues, as Silver1SWA said. I'm not unhappy with my camera's image quality.
Quoting ANITIX87 (Reply 9): You also mentioned noise performance was a concern.
I didn't, actually. I said I'd like a larger ISO range. I'm actually moderately happy with the XS's noise performance these days. A lot of it was learning how to expose correctly at higher ISOs - they're much less forgiving of underexposure or whatever. I've been taking far more photos at ISO800 and 1600 recently.
Thanks very much guys.
