Yeah but it's got the VR, well worth the extra $$. Plus I think the canon is a little more than $500

should VR be used on a tripod? I find it harder to use the auto focus when i'm using a tripod and it's on...

sorry to hijack!

VR is for handheld only, must be turned off when using a tripod

I don't think the 50D is cheaping out You made the right choice as spending more money on lenses is better than buying a high end body and using cheaper lenses. I used to take publishable photos with a Canon Rebel. It's all in the glass. you will be more than happy with it.
