Going to upgrade camera, buy or sell current/new lens?

Currently I have a 300D as well as the following glass.

28-300mm 3.5-5.6L IS USM, 50mm 1.8 II, Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm 3.5-4.5, 35-135mm 4-5.6

What I like to shoot the most is motorsports and other action sports... (speed fof the 50D in RAW will be nice!)

Going to get a 50D, don’t know if I should buy just the body or the kit with the 28-135mm 3.5-5.6 IS

Idea is to sell the 300D, but I’m not sure if I should sell it alone or with the 35-135 or both separate. How would I get more $ from the sale? What are they each worth?

From my research both are good with the 28-135 ahead in IQ, IS and build quality... or is there other glass i should consider? I know at sime point I will want the 10-22mm... nut would rather wait before spending $800 on more glass...

Thanks for the suggestions and advice....

If you can afford it...
I've kept all of my bodies.
Starting with the first D30, D60, 10D, 30D, 40D.

The 10D was the first camera I bought. The others just seemed to come along like a stray cat or dog!

And the strange thing, I use all but the D30 now....just depends on my mood and where I'm going.

I'll skip a few generations before I go for the next version. Maybe fill in later (20 and 50D's, etc).

i guess maybe as a backup... But what about the lens?

I would recommend that you keep the 300D, while it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the current cameras it's still capable of taking decent shots in the right conditions. Also the resale value of the 300D is not that high.

Currently when I'm out shooting I carry both the 30D and the 300D, a longer lens on the 30D and a wide on the 300D. I was being caught too many times with the wrong lens on the camera when a photo op arose.

The lenses I generally use are the 70-200mm f4L IS, fast focusing and excellent image quality and the 10-22mm, excellent image quality but may be a bit wide for motor sports shooting. When I'm shooting birds or other wildlife I put the 70-200mm on the 300D and the 400mm f5.6 on the 30D

The Earth is our Mother... We must take care of her....

For motorsports, I think your 28-300 should be an excellent lens. A 50D is much faster than a 300D, has lower noise at higher ISO, better focus accuracy, and captures much more detail. I don't think you need a 28-135 if you have the 28-300.
