Ehh... Although the glass is important it also depends on what you're shooting! ~> I would hate to go to shoot a professional Sporting Event w/ a slow camera!
Example: Rebel = 3 frames a second ~> The Rebel cant write them to the CF card that quick enough so after about 30 jpegs/ raw images, the LCD Screen will read Busy... =
You need a Nice Body and Nice Glass! ~> Hence why most of us are broke as a joke

My glass list includes now:
Sigma 10-20
Sigma 24-70 2.8
Nikkor 50mm 1.8
Nikkor 70-300 VR
Not the "best/most professional" glass available, but with what I shoot, I cant really tell the difference between the Nikon equivalent (for instance the 24-70 2.8 Nikkor) that costs almost 3x as much. I know its in the glass but it IS in the body too. Like Chris M said, you dont want a slow camera, and I was getting ahead of the D50 by quite a bit, and since I may be shooting for my school paper now and then, having this will be awesome at a few football games
and I'll borrow their 80-200 2.8

A fast camera sure is nice... I dealt with my 1st gen Digital Rebel (2.5FPS and even worse 4 shot buffer) for a long time... Now that I have my 30D I'm spoiled.
I agree that glass is prob the most important.... but speed would be a close 2nd IMO.

Most ppl dont ever utlize highspeed shooting. In fact it can be overly used in a lot of scenarios as a bad habit, a "shoot a lot and hope something sticks" I can say that from a lot of personal expierence when it comes to shooting stuff other cars racing, its a bad habit I need to get out. 3fps is plenty for anything thats not sports.

Yeah, my latest camera shoots 5fps and it's really way more than I need. I used it last week in combination with bracketing to get a set of handheld images I could use for HDR. That's really the only thing I've used it for, and honestly, it isn't something I do often.
