Dex: most of what you said, i could have said too about my Olympus C-730... great camera to learn digital on... i'd almost given up photograhy for a few years because i wasn't financially able to keep on shooting and developing 5 or 6 rolls of 1600 ISO Fuji each race meeting... I cut back to a little bit of nature photography here and there.. but the Olympus got me back into the cars, and taught me a lot about working with what you've got with regards to the slower AF (pre-focussing became the name of the game), low MP's (3.2) and it's issues with getting the exposure right with white cars (it would always overexpose a white car... to the point where you'd get into a habit of darkening the shot when you knew a white car was coming...)
moving on to the 20d and 30d was another huge step up because while you gain on most things, you lose out on zoom range.. just another step on the learning curve, and certainly not something that cannot be worked around...
