I had to look that up lol. That's a cool technique if you don't mind stopping down. Also getting the exposure right won't be a big issue since it's digital and I can always retake the shot.

Alright, I'm in an odd situation. I'm saving up for a Canon t2i, but for the time being I have a choice between two cameras. I can either stick with my 30D, or I can use a new Rebel XS. What do you guys think I should go with?

if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Nothing wrong with a 30d at all. Instead of buying a new body, y not get new lenses instead? they are what makes the difference in the first place.

Well the thing is, the 30D is my dads and the XS is my moms, and they're both being offered to me, so I just have to choose one. Which should I go for?

sounds like you already have the 30D? Personally I'd stick with what I know and stay with the 30, but then again i don't know if the XS is superior to the XS (thinking not or there is not much of a difference). take the 30 and get lenses that can fit your future camera and keep saving for the camera that you really, really want--because if you're serious about photography and not just a pure hobby then you'll upgrade from the T2i anyway. just my .02.

I know how to use both of them, cause I've had a lot of time to play around with the XS also. It's just a matter of which one I should take. I'm not very serious about photography, I prefer to keep it as just a hobby.
