I upgraded in about a year form a XTi to a D90.
I was just at Best Buy holding some cameras and checking out the 7D and man do I hate entry level cameras as far as build is concerned. They are so damngeneric compared to is better models. Granted that is not really a big thing when getting a camera but I had my XTi for a year and it sure looked like crapwith scratches and some other issues on it...which I would think would effect the resale value. I got my D90 in January and seeing how it will almost be ayear, my camera still feels like it is brand new. I could sell it today and get almost all of my money back. I always think if I can do it over again, I wish Iwould have just got a better camera and not an entry. It was kind of a waste of money.

I'm in about the same position at 8 months right now, also looking to up the D60. I agree with the mid-range/prosumer camera's do feel better, I wasalso in BB playing around with the D90, 50D, and 7D. I'm contemplating on a 40D or a 50D mostly, the T1i sounds great it's just that one of the majorreasons I'm changing is that I need a bigger body because my hands are quite big. Is the 50D worth it over the 40D? For lenses it'd be the 28-135, mostlikely a 17-40 L, and I guess a nifty fifty. Nothing against Nikon, I will miss my 35mm 1.8, I just want to play the other side of the field,

^^^That is dope. Cool to see some Nikon fanboys. It looks like they even made the video using a Nikon cause the framerate is so choppy and bad. Haha!
But Nikons are still used more (well in skateboarding) when capturing sequence shots. I feel you on the FPS Santi. I can get a sequence of a slow turtle butnothing that is moving too fast.

For you Canon users with an entry-level DSLR, please, please, please, do yourselves a favor and upgrade to a 40D not a 50D.

Personally, i think the d60 sucks so i think you should upgrade to the d90.
That's just me though, and if new lenses is what you want, go for it.

This is my friend Pixie. In retrospect, I woulda done a lot differently with the shot, but I was just following her around the kitchen and shooting as we wentalong. She's not comfortable with modeling or being in front of the camera at ALL, so I couldn't ask her to pose or repeat anything. Anyways, some ofit's out-of-focus, but sometime's that's just how the ball bounces. I like the colors though.
