Re: New member needing some Camera advice.

Well I would cetainly not want to give up my cropped sensor. 1.6x I believe on the Canon 40D I use. Like Dave, if I could afford a 500mm prime then yes a full frame would probably be the way to go but seeing as I use a 400mm prime the cropped sensor helps.

As for burst rate the 40D does around six or seven per second can't remember off hand and it's a feature that I use a lot and I don't seem to get soft shots after the first one as Dave mentioned, (quoting Andy Rouse I believe)

I'm not saying go for Canon, the choice is yours, but remember that whatever brand you choose it's the lens that counts more than anything else. A prime lens will always in my opinion at least give a better quality image regardless of it being a full frame or cropped sensor camera you happen to be using.
