Love the camera. It was a nice step up from my 40D in every way. Still getting used to all the new features. If you take even a moddest amount of pics, be ready to buy at least a 1TB extra hard drive to store these 30+mb picture files! Movie files are even bigger! my 30gb worth of mem cards fills up very quickly compared to my 40D!
This camera NEEDS "L" series lenses to fully capture its potential. Its more obvious using a non-"L" lens than my 40D. Its hard to use any other lens than my 70-200mm for image quality, but its such a long lens (focal length), thats its not that easy!
Bottom line: If you buy this camera, you're not an amatuer photographer, you're getting semi-serious. You're going to have to back this purchase up with a significant amount of items. More file storage(both for computer and larger/FAST) mem cards, "L" lenses, probably another bag to carry this assuming you kept your old camera.
Overall, its worth it, but take the time to learn it before judging it, and be ready for the extras you'll find yourself needing/wanting!
What's great about it: Everything I expected
What's not so great: Hard to hit the focus doing HD video
