Don, i shoot a most stuff outside when im out with friends etc so i'd need something thats fairly wide and has a reasonable zoom.
I sometimes do portraits although since christmas and moving ive not really done a lot.
Also im not exchanging with a normal company im refunding it where i bought it. So im getting back what i paid for which i wont get any where else.

Matt do it then, as you seem to me that you are going to no matter what everyone has said about getting better glass.
I just dont see the point in spending more money which could be immediately put on glass.

Im doing the exchange at work, which is why/how im getting so much money. I cannot do it and get the cash the only way is to upgrade. So if i dont want to upgrade then i cant have any money.
Which is why if i dont end up doing it i wont be spending any cash until the end of the year or something.
I understand that its not the best £££ i wasnt expecting it to be the best you can buy as its a kit lens. But it would probably be a good alrounder for me as i like something that has range and is wide. It will also be better than the current 18-55mm kit lens i have.

the best thing you can do, if you want to upgrade and can take you 400d back for a full refund is do that, take it back, then get a 30d for £300, i know of one for sale at that price. then get a tamron 17-50mm, if all you are shooting is general stuff oustide and a little portrait its a perfect lens, its 2.8 so nice and fast, has a good zoom range and is a big heavy, well made slab of galss, so it feels a good upgrade from your 18-55mm plastic thingy lol

Ryan, im not 100% going to do it, im just trying to explain that i thought about doing it as its a reasonably good deal. Its not as if im walking in to a normal shop and getting cash for it so i could go and but a 30D or something and then buy Glass.
Its if i go for it, i either get the 40D or keep the camera.
Basically if i dont upgrade i wont be spending any money until my cards are paid off.

surely spending any ££££ at the moment isnt the best advice though matt, especially with how you are being raped on the car front. £3-400 isnt a small amount by any means.

Not much i can do with that at the minute. Im trying to just leave it for now and get on with life for 6months or so, then i can think about a loan to pay it off with so i have cheaper re-payments.
Back on subject. - i cant exchange camera for cash.
So i either keep the camera and have no money, or i swap and upgrade. They are the two options on the table at the moment. Ignoring the car finance problem. (thanks)

if you are having trouble paying for a car a new camera should be the last thing on your mind.

surely if you have no cash upgrading should be a no no (also say 12 months down the line the 50d will be cheaper)

The 50D may be cheaper but i'd be paying full whack for it, if that makes any sense.

the simple fact is, and everyone will agree with me is that upgrading will in no way improve your pictures.
