I am into nature photography and when I am in the field usually have one camera ready for telephoto pictures and another ready for landscapes. I prefer to minimize the chance of dust or missed shots by always having two cameras ready to go. Right now my 40D is the one with the telephoto lens. The XTi is a great companion for all the other photographs like landscapes, people, flowers and insects.

This is the second Xti/400D that I have purchased. obviously I like the body,it is very comfortable, image quality is excellent, and fits my needs fine. As fast as things change anymore it makes sense to me to stay with what I like. Use the extra money for pro lenses, I have a 24-105mm 4.0Lis and a 70-200mm 4.0Lis that work awesome with the 400D bodies.I guess it is all in what each person feels is their priorty. All I know is that Cannon quality means alot and the 400D camera body is a excellent bargin.

I mostly shoot portraits and have had amazing results, with 50mm f/1.8 lens.

Got this on a lark to try out the EOS system. Now I am getting a 5D but I will keep using this to get more cropping options from my lenses. The main drawback with the camera is the same as 99% of small-sensor DSLRs: the small sensor. I have tried to live with it for long time with two different systems, but it just makes lens choices too hard to manage. Also I wish they would put more dedicated wheels on low end DSLRs - it can't cost much more. IQ on this camera is good - I don't think they make bad DSLRs anymore, just cheap lenses. I got this one used for about a quarter the price of one lens.

Great lightweight camera, useful for just about anything. Light construction, but I added Camera Armor and it has taken a beating for 2 years without mishap. Excellent for walk around.

I'm sure that other reviews have gone into detail with the pros and cons so I'll make this quick. It's a great all around slr camera and I really can't find any major problems with mine. The two things that bother me is that the pop-up flash has a long flash duration and is not adjustable, and when you put a hot-shoe flash on top, you have to use completely manual settings which drives me crazy because the light meter won't compensate so you have to guess the speed and f-stop which takes valuable time. But I'm defiantly happy with mine and is a great camera overall. Matt

I HAVE 2 CANON REBEL FILM SLR CAMERAS, THEY BOTH WORK GREAT NO PROBLEMS WITH THEM AT ALL. I CHOOSE THE CANON REBEL XTI AS MY FIRST DIGITAL SLR BECAUSE WITH THAT MANY RESOLUTIONS I KNOW THATS ALL I NEED. WHEN I WENT TO THE 2007 AUTO SHOW WITH IT I REALIZED THE BATTERY HASN'T WENT LOW. THE PICTURES CAME OUT BEAUTIFUL JUST LIKE MY FILM CAMERAS. I CAN'T COMPARE TO ALL 3 OF THEM BECAUSE THERE ALL FOR 3 DIFFERENT REASONS. :) THANK YOU [...].

I've had my Rebel XTi for a year now...upgraded from the Rebel XT that I had for a year. My main reasons for staying with the Rebel series are that they're small and light, easy to use, and not too expensive. My main reasons for upgrading to the XTi were higher megapixel count, self-cleaning sensor, and bigger display. I LOVE the bigger display, I can't really tell any difference for the megapixel count, and the self-cleaning sensor does NOT work at all. No matter how careful I am, dust still ends up on the sensor. Now that I have a second body for my other lens I don't change lenses anymore, but dust still shows up somehow. My other gripe was that the handgrip was "creaky" and felt cheap until I added glue. Now it's solid like the XT was!

I've owned 3 other Canon's and this is by far my favorite. I like the way the LCD screen turns off when held up to my eye.

Great backup digital camera, v. easy to use, too small for me, had to add battery holder. 10 megapix better than 30D. Can really ramp up saturation in camera. But you cannot use it in the rain, or in the mist, or within reach of a wave, on the Oregon coast. Camera ceases to work at the least approach of moisture.

Canon's large-area CMOS sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in its class. This APS-C size sensor (22.2 x 14.8mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF Lens focal length. With an effective pixel resolution of 3,904 x 2,598, the EOS Digital Rebel XTi offers superb detail and clarity, even in large prints, and generates finished files that open at approximately 30MB in your image-editing software.
On Canon's CMOS sensor, each pixel is captured with fine detail to create images of tremendous depth and resolution, ensuring enough information for even poster-sized prints. With the DIGIC II Image Processor on board, photographers can expect natural color reproduction, precise white balance in any number of lighting situations and unparalleled clarity.
The EOS Digital Rebel XTi has a brilliant 2.5-inch LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 pixels. All shooting and review information is accessed on the rear LCD monitor, and the wide viewing angle of 160° and brighter, easier-to-read menus give the new Rebel XTi LCD monitor an obvious advantage. When composing images, the Digital Rebel XTi's external display turns off automatically to prevent the LCD monitor's brightness from disturbing the photographer's eye. With a startup time of 0.2 seconds, the EOS Digital Rebel XTi is ready to go the instant it's brought to the eye. And the Digital Rebel XTi's shutter can record images as fast as 1/4000 seconds and as long as 30 sec., plus bulb at up to 3 fps for 27 consecutive shots. It synchronizes with Canon Speedlites at 1/200 seconds.
The EOS Digital Rebel XTi has a high-precision 9-point AF system for speedy and accurate focusing in any situation. photographers can recreate characteristics of their favorite films. Color, saturation, sharpness and contrast settings create noticeable variation in the saved image. In addition to six preset Picture Styles (Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome), users can create 3 additional settings for their particular photographic style.
Printing and uploading to a computer is incredibly simple with the Digital RebelXTi's Print/Share button. The EOS Digital Rebel XTi not only sports a newly-refined body with better ergonomics and an improved grip, but it also has some of Canon's most advanced improvements in dust reduction. The Digital Rebel XTi's integrated hardware and software solutions make trouble with dust a thing of the past.
The EOS Digital Rebel XTi features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system. You can use it's flush-mounted integral flash or or any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line. The EOS Digital Rebel XTi is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses, & including Canon's EF-S series lenses manufactured specifically for Canon's APS-C sized digital sensor.
