To those thinking of upgrading

My trusty 450D/XSi died last year after about 50k actuations and I bought a T3i.  If you own the XSi, I would suggest you postpone upgrading.  I did notice a bit of improvement with the 18 versus 12 megapixels, but that was about it.  I don't use video and have not needed to use the swivel lcd screen.  Focusing was not improved.  In fact my XSi focused better with the 60 macro lens.  I can't use AF for macro shots with the T3i.  The T3i is supposed to have less noise at higher ISOs.  I don't notice that improvement.  Perhaps if I could do a comparison with my old XSi, I would see some improvement.
