Phil, I have to agree with Leon about the flashes, on both my Nikon D80 and my Canon 350D, I never use the pop up flashes, always use the 580EX on the canon and the SB-600 on the Nikon.. the poptops are convenient, however they lack the customization and calibration of the speedlites. And when you're looking at something at the quality level of a 5D, do you really want a $20 afterthought built in flash illuminating the subject to a substandard level??

John, I know you asked Phil, but I'm gonna throw in my 2c. The 50D IMHO represents fantastic value for money, Its specs indicate it will be a real performer, with a very powerful user definable feature set, and at a very acceptable price range... Its on my "To Buy" list already.
