I'd like to hear your comments regarding any of these features, particular dust removal and whether it works.

On the price: I think $1,499 is a bit much. How far do you think the price will fall?
$1499 for a Body Only is steep, I paid €1349 for mine, but it will probably fall to €/$ 1175-1250 after the first 2 - 3 months

Dust Removal: I second Jay/Worm234, it seems to work, at JapanCamera they only had one 400D returning for SensorCleaning, and that body fell on the beach during lenschange with no lens on My one-month old 400D (1500 shots, lots of lensexchanges everywhere) is also clean as a baby (which, BTW, is a strange saying, babies aren't clean at all, unless you clean them! )

More FPS: see my earlier reply above: especially more usefull than 20D because of the (IMHO) HUGE buffer and low sound

Better IQ and more pixels: IMHO are both there for you&me to unfold, will take a little adapting, but IMHO it is definitely there

Hope this helps some, €0.02 and all...

Kindest regards!
