Ya the life cycle of technology now is about 2yrs... and having personly shot with both cameras I'd have too recomened the 50D as youd be hard pressed to tell the difference between images side by side as the sensors are the same size. If i recall correctly the main difference is the 7D shoots HD video which is real neat for some. If it were my money I'd get the 50D and a nice lens.
