Well my beautiful 5DMII is on eBay and will sell so now I need to figure out what to get to replace that. I was planning on a used 40D but wanted to see what everyone else thought. Money is the big issue (hopefully in a few years and can start getting nice stuff again but for now it needs to be cheap) I would like to find one under $250 but I could go to $300. I still have a speedlite and my 50mm 1.4 But that is about all the gear I am keeping for now. So do I just go with the 40D? Is there something a bit better for that price point?
Would going with a cheaper mirrorless be beneficial and selling the 50mm as I am pretty much out of canon gear at this point? Something like the sonya3000?

I am not up to speed on all the alternatives out there but I have nothing but praise for the Canon40D. I have taken some of my best/favourite photos on a 40D and I suspect you can pick up a good used one very cheap these days.

under $200 regularly on eBay, often with extras. Kinda scared dropping down from the 5D but I think I jumped up too quickly anyway. |

| My primary camera in now an Olympus micro 4/3 that was $250 with 2 lenses. Image quality is a little better than my 50D or (now dead) Rebel T2i. I was thinking about upgrading it to a 14-42 pancake lens s it can carry in a jersey pocket while cycling. I take a lot of risks with my camera, so I tend to buy good but inexpensive used ones. |

| Well, it's an old beast but I have an original 5D body that I have available, and I will let it go *very* cheap. Let me know if there is any interest. |

| Sony A6000 is the right one for you man. With an adapter you can even use the Canon lenses. |

The a6000 will be over budget but the a3000 is an option. |

This is the way I'd go. I still love my 5D, and it's more than good enough. |

| The Sony RX100 VII is the best small camera that I have tested. I think it would be a great experience for you if you use it. |

Two points here:
This thread is nearly 6 years old, so no answers are relevant.
The Sony RX100 VII costs over 4 times as much as MinsoPhoto's budget.
