RE: Canon 20D/30D/40D Which One Should I Buy?

Hi,

thank you all for your opinions. Now I'm definitely sure that I won't buy a 20D but most probably a 30D. The differences between 30D and 40D don't seem to be very big (especially for planespotting) so that's imo better to save some price difference for a lens.
