Thank you all for your quick and clarifying responses. At first it seemed like a clear choice but the later comments exactly show the difficulty of the choice for me. I will try to respond to all of the messages.

First with regard to the lenses, I am looking for the 50-230 for wildlife photography in central America (birds and monkeys most likely). I want to buy it now so I can get a fair amount of practise at home first.

Regarding the prime lenses, they offer probably better quality than the compact zoom but as of now I wouldn’t know which one I should get. I think it is better to start with something more flexible and experience what setting I use most before looking into higher quality primes.

I might occasionally shoot a short film but I don’t expect to make extensive use of it. So no need there to go for the T-30.

I am a bit sceptical if I directly notice the difference between the T20 and T30 coming from such a different kind of camera. But on the other hand I do believe that the T30 offers more than only better video capabilities. What are the kind of situations during travel you will best notice the better AF system of the T30?

mentioning birds and wildlife. faster focus is good PLUS the ability to focus that 50-230 zoom in less than optimum light it huge! the preshot feature is something you'll love with those monkeys and birds!
