Hi Eric,
I must apologise, but I think I'm better off staying with my 400d for the time being. I'm a bit confused, I don't know if I want to jump toward a modded DSLR or a coooled ccd such as the QHY8.
Sorry about making the offer, please pass it on to the next in line, who may be able to make better use of the camera. Perhaps in a week or so I'll regret passing it up, but I don't want to cause you any delay.
But... are you really sure you want to sell? I'm sure you can do great things with a modded 40d once you master the concept of raws and colour balance. Gee, if I could do it, so can you!
Sincerely,
Rob
