I’m thinking about upgrading, still want a Canon, was thinking 400D or 40D . I think 5D would be overkill?
I have an EOS 300D now, getting a bit old.
The 5D is probably a bit expensive for someone of my questionable ability. I’m might be better off putting that extra money into photography lessons, yes / no? I’ll probably stick with Camera House classes and have to wear a damn surgical mask, my last private tutor was a ….. problem. No more private lessons! Maybe I can get online tutorage, are there sites that do that?
Anyway, back to the camera. I’ve got a science (biology) background and love macro, gotta love those plasmodium slime moulds! I’ll also want to use it later for some of our karate tournaments, so I need speed. Then there’s landscape and portrait as reference for my work. Not to mention my really stupid idea of maybe getting good at this. So you can see that I need an all-rounder. All advice gratefully received.
I kind of align with perki88 on this one. You will want a dedicated macro lens anyhow, so buy that FIRST and see how your 300D stands up. I have the Nikon 60 mm macro lens and find it to be a very sharp lens with utility other than macro, but I can get about an inch from the subject if need be. See http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/tags/60/ for some examples. Canon makes a comparable lens.
As far as choosing a camera, while I’d LOVE to become a playboy swinger myself and get a 5D, I think it’s a lot of money to spend for your purposes. If you didn’t say “macro,” I’d even say that you would do well to pick up a 30D once you see the prices start to drop, which I expect they will. The 30D or 40D are built more solidly than a 400D and – most important – they have actual spot meters, which I could not live without. The live view on the 40D might make compostion easier for macro shots on a tripod, so that’s enticing. I think I read somewhere that you can zoom in about 10X on the live view, so it would even be okay for critical focus.
In the US, the 30D is dropping below US$1,000 now. The 40D is around US$1,300. The 400D is around US$600-650. The 60 mm macro lens is below US$400. A 30D and 60 mm macro lens would be a real pro set-up, but getting the 40D instead would be a nice upgrade if you can write it all off anyway. 
Start with just the lens, though, in my opinion.
