Canon 40d or 450d.....5d?

[tomy2tums]

ok, new camera coming..

I like the 40d, but do I wait for the 450d (and then another 3 months for an underwater housing?)

40d's a nice price, and I could pick it up in Dubia at much cheapness, but then theres the 5d?

could I really justify buying the 5d? when for the extra I could pick up a really good Sigma macro lens..

definately go for the 40d - its a better camera than the 450d(bar the price and only 10m mega pixels instead of 12m, but unless your making A3 size pictures you'll never know). If you get it in Dubai you'll be able to use it in Loch Long while your back:D
