If I was to go in the direction of the 50d then my question is this...is the 50d worth the extra money over the 40d as I might be able to find a 40d for a good price new or used because it is a few years old. I have read some reports that those who had the 40d didn't see that much improvement in the 50d and in fact there have been some issues with the 50d that the 40d didn't have, I can't remember what they were off hand. Thanks for your input.

my vote says get the T2i...looks like a winner

Ditto. The T2i is much newer than the 50D, and has a few advantages over it: HD video, better high iso performance (the T2i's sensor is similar to the 7D's). The 50D is, to me, worth the difference over the 40D for the higher iso settings and autofocus microadjustment, but ymmv.

Unless you want movies - I would still go with the 50D
(1) Better erganomics
(2) Higher FPS
(3) Increased buffer size.

I have a friend who had a 40D but now shoots with a 50D. Loves the larger screen and 15MP.

Be careful buying a used 40D - mine has 90,000 + shutter actuations.
