Finally got a chance to play with the XT today. Thought some would like to see some new pics from it. So far,I am really pleased with it. This was taken with the 70-200 F/4.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. :D
I really like the XT. I have upgraded from the 300D, and I find it very easy to make the switch to the XT. I upgraded primarily to get AI Servo in the manual/creative modes to shoot the dogs in action.
Here is a pic from yesterday--AI Servo definitely helps. I got way better focused shots than I was getting previously.
So..for right now I am happy. Won't even look at a 20D or better for awhile ;) The XT will let me learn how to shoot for now.
