I agree with what you say Dave.
If I didn't have a significant investment in Canon lenses, I too would have considered a new Nikon body.
But in the end I've always said DSLR's come and go but lenses will be with you for life.
I'm happy with my 20D and 20Da and 5D.
For astro, if I was starting out I'd be looking at the 40D.
For terrestrial (crop 1.6) either the 40D or 50D with it's extra features.
I really like the features on the 50D.
It doesn't look like Canon will concentrate on IQ, the mega pixel war has truly begun.
I began to loose faith in their quality control when the 1D MkIII had it's issues. At least with the 5D MkII they patched the black dot problem with firmware.
That's why I like to wait till everything's ironed out with new models before considering an upgrade.
To be honest, in the end, it is the photographer that makes a great photo, not the camera.
I'd like to see people concentrate on their photo skills and post processing rather than chase mega pixels and features.
