with EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 Lens (Black)

The XT is amazing. The string comes fairly exciting so you can immedietly edge with the camera (thank you Canon!) I've already shot about 200 films with it and the sequence hasn't died yet.

I can't give you a comparison between the XT and the 20D as I harbor't owned a 20D, I can tell you a few gear you may want to know before retail.

This camera, is TINY. Extremely tiny. I'm a lady in my early twenties and I have small hands. The camera fits just right in my hands, but honestly, I don't see how superstar with superior hands would be 100% comfortable asset this. If my hands were any bigger, they would be slipping off the foot.

I had tried asset a 20D at a camera storeroom once and it felt too large in my hands to grip. The camera extent is faultless for me, but just beware if you have superior hands. You may want to look into the battery grip, or suffering out holding the camera at a gather before you order it. See the picture I uploaded above to get a dimension relation and how the camera fits in my hands.

For somebody who is migrating to this camera from a benchmark instant and whiz digital camera, you cannot trick the view you are about to take using the LCD conceal on the back. You must look through the viewfinder. The LCD divider is soley for menu use and preview means after the picture has been full, nothing more.

Something I've noticed is the camera makes a ratteling sound when enthused around. I couldn't presume out what the heck it was, and then I lastly reazlized it's the hinges from the pop-up spark. It sounds like they are free when the explode is clogged. I went to Best Buy and looked at their present archetype, and yep, it has the same tricky. Well, it's not very a *drawback* but frankly something ratteling around like that sounds cheaply made to me. My Canon misted SLR doesn't make that sound.

I use a 420EX Speedlite twinkling with my SLRs so the popup moment doesn't item me, but it was something I noticed and thought I would segment.
I darling that Canon gave the decision to have a black finish over a silver one.
The startup time is instantaneous which is absolutely wonderful.
The burst fashioned is admirable with 3 fps.
Its awfully ease.
The persona featured is brilliant. You can get photo feature prints at 20x30, and even then I bet you could advance it mega.

I truly can't elaborate more then what other reviews have said. If you are looking for a movement into the digital SLR world, this is the permit. Or you can even trial out the newly summary primary Digital Rebel, but for the extra hundred bucks or so, I would just get the XT. You will not be regretful.

Two upgrades I would make right away: Get a Speedlite update and the Canon 28-135mm lens.
Also, I don't know why people are submitting bad reviews grading Amazon on shipping for the Rebel XT. When I preordered the XT from Amazon (not from another 3rd gang), it said it would be free March 20th. I got my Rebel XT in the post yesterday (the 22nd) which if you ask me, is appealing repair good. Want something right away? Then walk into a store and buy it instead of ordering from the internet.

Canon Digital Rebel XTi 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera

The new Digital Rebel XTi camera should charm to an eclectic mixture of users: those wishing to upgrade from a situation and whiz digital, or those wishing to enhance leading their first generation digital SLRs. Features and cherish make this a 5-star camera, but it won't be everybody's cup of tea.

Comparing to the earlier Digital Rebel XT, important improvements are:

1) 10.1 megapixels. In digital camera circles, this is like proverb a car has more horsepower than an elder car. While this lonesome doesn't mean "better" films, in veracity, joint with other improvements in hardware and software, the results typically are better.;

2) 2.5" LCD panel. This alone has more than one advantage. The palpable first one is that our pictures look better in appraisal. The trice, and for somebody approaching 50 (like me), is that the LCD is now worn for all the camera's facts (secure zoom, space, shots left, etc.). It's much easier to read than the small LCD typically located on the top of the cameras. It might use up the batteries earlier, but, heck, if you can see the word this much easier, then so be it. One objection, it does not occur that the facts rotates when you do verticals (like the Sony Alpha 100).;

3) 9-aspect AF. The number of points are superior from 7, but the truly key here is that it's the practice from the 30D, which had a, much elevated grade of accuracy than the before Rebels.;

4) Picture Styles. I didn't really appreciate them at first, but plainly put, this is like the being of coat, when we could use a "likeness" skin or "landscape" covering. For those that don't like to do a lot of processor work, these can be VERY versatile in getting the right look in the camera.;

5) Dust cleaning order. OK, I think the dust drawback will perhaps be a little magnified, now that Canon offers a liquid, but it is an unfeigned, if not great, risk. Additionally, built it is moment to nobody. The first is through hardware. An ultrasonic filter could merely shake the dust off. Second is through software. If you pustule a severe section that won't shake off, you can do an allusion shot, and have the dust impassive by software on your computer.;

6)The grip has been better a little. The rubber on the grip is improved, and a defiant-steal strip has been placed on the back where the right thumb goes.

Most all other gear Canon know for exists. The camera focused rapidly and gently. Camera operations are agile and painless to locate and use. Pictures look great.

Now for the other surface. This is a bizarre time in that all the big players are comming out with a 10 megapixel camera at the same time, so the Canon has some stiff competition. Here goes a minimal comparison.

1) Compared to the other two cameras already untaken, the Sony A100 and Nikon D80 (both also 5-star cameras), the XTi is considerably lesser, and somewhat lighter. Some will like this, even some with average to middling-large hands. Nevertheless most people with larger, and some with somewhat smaller hands may fancy the other two choices.;

2) The array is somewhat smaller than rival's, and may drain a bit faster due to the LCD being used for data all the time.;

3) Functionally, the rear LCD is not as careful as the Sony's. The Sony's rotates, can be set to enlarge mode (50+ consumer again), and the structure that turns it off as your eye approaches also starts the AF on the Sony. [Although many like the top LCD, the Nikon way of needing to press a close on the back, then crest over the top to see what your location is not as good].;

4) No in camera stabalization. The A100 can turn the sensor to help eliminate camera shake. Nikon and Canon involve you to grip fairly pricey lenses to get the defiant-shake.;

Also, quickly to be added to the competion will be the Pentax K10D. Specs are imprecise right now, but it appears to be enter the competition as a 10 megapixel camera with built-in defiant-shake (much like their K100D).

Of these 3 currently on the market, the Canon is the slightest luxurious; hence, it's up to the other 2 to show they value more, a very strenuous task, really.
