Newer technology means faster shutter speeds and less noise at higher film speeds(iso). My last camera could shoot 1/4000th(Canon Rebel XT), but now with the Canon 50D, it's 1/8000th. I see this as more creative control. I try to stick to an iso of 100-400 when I shoot because I'm after quality. I personally would make sure to have "spot metering" on the camera. My XT didn't have it. Have you had your background so bright that you loose all the details in your subject and they just become a black blob? Well, if you have spot metering you can have the picture exposed for your subject's face and have the background blown out. I have examples if need be. :]
One of the best recommendations I've gotten as a photographer is to focus on the lenses. Majority of my gallery is with my Rebel XT camera and a number of different lenses. You can buy the latest Rebel T1i or 50D, but the lens that comes with both of these cameras are nothing spectacular. I wasn't sure about the one that came with my 50D, but I want to return it and just get the body because I've been using my other lenses anyways.
What kind of photography would you like to get into? Depending on where you want to start out you could start with a Canon Rebel body and start with the Canon 50mm F/1.8 or 50mm F/1.4. Great if you want to have your subject in focus and have the background ridiculously blurred out.
I hope this was helpful! :]

WEll there are 3 main subjects of photography that I love to take pictures of: people, nature, and sports/action. I just recently got into taking Lacrosse pictures because a guy friend of mine got me into the game. I love action shots in general. I've seen some really good ones on DA. People are probably my favorite sunject though.
I'll have to talk to a friend about all this info I've gotten. Overall though you'd definately recommend a Canon of some sort though?

It's really coming down to personal preference. There's no clear choice. I have invested a fair amount of money into Canon and it's just so much hassle to switch to another make. I'm also use to the way Canon's operate. Also, the photography program I start this fall requires Canon or Nikon.
