i mean it'd prolly be real fun but i think i'd feel weird cuttin through a wave and just remaining stationary hahha

 

till u slip and fall and bust ur **** on it and dislocate or shoulder or break something. Those things aren't to be underestimated. From what I've heard and read as of last night, they are harder to ride than a REAL wave.

 

yeah i can definitely seeing it being harder...in the ocean you just fall and go under, on that you fall and eat plastic and that hard current of water hahahah

 

may be getting a 20D...

 

what do u shoot to need one? what r u using now?

 

going from an XS to a 20D is certainly not an upgrade. If you can swing it, use the cash from the XS and add a bit more to get a 40D. Crazily enough the 20D has LESS accurate AF than your XS, as well as slower AF speed, less MP, less pixel density, etc, etc, etc. Just my .02

 

depends where you're surfing...i've eaten it into reefs dozens of times or the sand at some places...

 

i read about the less accurate AF, but didnt understand why and seemed to me like a problem in only a few (like a glitch in the manufacturing). Less MP isnt a big deal, as nothing i shoot gets blown up to full size.

I did read an article comparing the XT to the 20D, but is my XS better than the XT?

What i do like is the up in ISO, the ability to shoot better in low light and the added fps.

So what do yall think. It is a great deal, and possibly have a buyer for my XS if i go through with it.

Also, E, i shoot alot of auto event and having the higher fps and the ability to shoot more shots at a time will help. i could keep my XS also, that is how tempting this price is.

So, help?

 

i would rather u get both bodies. use the 20d when u need the speed but XS when u need the quality.

 

what is the price?

Either way, the XS is a full 2 generations better than the XT, instead of Digic II it has Digic IV, its has 10mp instead of...was it 8? it has the XTi's (if not the XSi's) auto focus, and the fact that you shoot racing, you wouldn't want a slower, less accurate AF. As I said, if you can swing it, you can generally pic up a used 40D for 600-700 depending on what it comes with so if you can swing that, I think you'll be much happier!

 

thanks. this is why i ask yall before i do anything. I'll let you all know what i decide.

 

how much is the 20d?

 

i sold off my 20D for $300 kinda on the low end.

 

ya, i dont think i'll be picking it up as due to further reading and owners opinions, it isnt any better, or worse than my XS.

 

does the XS have AI Servo?

 

Pretty sure, ill check later, when i go upstairs haha i r lazy.

 

____ the rebel XT had AI servo i would think the XS has it..

 

the cautious approach into hell on earth...

always keeping an eye out for possible RPGs

 

damn dude, I love your job.. you get to shoot cool shots!

 

wow that's crazy
