• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

ok now the showdown - is the 20D$1400 vrs the Rebel XT $700(aka350) really worth the extra$$$ if so why? (BODY ONLY)

Ive been told that the main difference is the ability to shoot 5 shots per second VRS 3 shots per second...ANY THOUGHTS AS iM GETTING READY TO PULL THE TRIGGER WITH THIS DEAL...QUALITY?

ALSO - LENS 17/40 VRS 10/22 ????

this camera is gonna be dedicated for stormchase&lightening shots
 
I'll look at it from a chasing point of view...

17-40 vs 10-22
----------------
10 is wider, but the 17-40 beats it in pretty much every area. That said, the 10-22 is still a decent lens. If I had the $$, I'd purchase it.

20D vs Digi Reb XT
-------------------------
Go to a store and handhold them. The digi reb is simply too small for my hand (although I would use it if I had too!).

20D is built better... and has a brighter viewfinder... both plusses for chasing.
Larger buffer, and FPS goes to the 20d. A possible benefit for chasing for rapid tornado sequences (although were pushing it at this point!).

That said, if it comes down to a fixed budget, I'd rather purchase a lower model body and get better glass. Glass is a better investment than the body.
