ok so I have a 30d that I really like for sports but I am looking for a portrait camera. Something that will be great for shooting my future addition to my family. Does anyone have the t1i if so how do they like it? I think I can kill 2 birds with the this one. Thanks in advance

Why not just get a portrait lens and keep the 30d?

I agree, it isn't like the 30D is a piece of crap. Get a 24-70 2.8L or go cheap with a 50mm f1.8 and keep it. My wife uses a 50mm f1.8 100% of the time and takes amazing pictures with her XTi.

+1 on the 24-70, Amazing lens that I use all the time for portraits. If you can't budget that one then I agree with the 50 too.

Your body is fine, go for glass.

The nifty 50 can work wonders!!!
