For me it's the R10. I have used my Rebel XS since 2007. It's been good. Everything I have printed has been perfectly acceptable. I have used the extra money saved from not upgrading bodies for other lenses, light, tripod etc.

It's not about lens selection or sensor tech or firmware. I won't be able to tell the difference between any of them, I'm just not that discriminating. The difference in price between the two makes the "upgrade" to the R10 worth it. Especially if you buy used like I do.

To be totally honest about it all, I have the budget and I have been living in the camp if "buy what you want". If you don't have the money, wait until you do. If you don't get what you -want- then you have a tendancy to look back and say "I just hould have waited" or "I don't like this one I should have spent the extra few dollars, it wouldn't have made a difference"

I will be selling nearly all my APS-C gear this spring and plan to transition to the R8 for my only ILC.  This said, over the past few years I have become very attached to the EF-S 15-85mm for its combination of IQ, AF speed, IS and most of all its focal range on APS-C cameras.  I will keep this lens and might use it on the 2nd generation R10 when, or if, it comes to market.  This would be a great small, lightweight option to compliment the R8.  While I like the R10, it needs a little more refinement to make it something I would buy.
