   Lucky dog.

   Any comments on the camera?  I'm going to be buying a new one soon,
   and I'm trying to decide whether the features in the 20D are worth
   the extra money as compared to the 350D (the Rebel XT), or whether
   I'd be better off buying the cheaper camera and spending the
   difference on glass.

There's no one answer to that -- it depends upon what your needs are.
The XT is supposed to have just as good image quality as the 20D.  The
20D feels a lot more solid, has a better autofocus system, and has
some other features.  Everything else being reasonably equal you're
probably better off getting better glass.

I shot a sunset the other night.  The only shot that came out
absolutely tack sharp was with a 200 f/2.8L (at f/16).  Shots I took
with my 85 f/1.8 and 50 f/1.8 came out reasonably sharp.  The 28-135
and 75-300 simply aren't sharp enough to take full advantage of an 8
MP sensor.
