Indeed, but then you'll still have to buy the batt grip, some fast CF cards (if you didn't already had CF cards which was my case :/), a bigger and convenient backpack and maybe a 58mm polarizer (dunno the diameter of the one on the S2IS) ...
The extras also cost a lot, you have to keep this in mind, unfortunately.
I know....thats what I'm "scared" of. I already have the 58mm polarizer for the S2 so at least I can re-use that.

As Darkel said, the battery grip is mandatory, ence a second battery

But 2000 is pretty much what you'll end up spending probably.. not that much more
Alrighty then.....back to the 350D then. I'm going to the shop tomorrow morning and knowing myself I won't be able to resist once looking at something on the shelf.
