Do ya'll think this would be worht the $500 or so (if you subtract what i might be able to sell the Rebel for) it would cost me?

Though, if you had the 300, I would assume you have outgrown the basics therefor recommending the 30D -Andy-

kram obvious its pointless 2,612 posts Likes: 3 Joined Feb 2005 More info | Sep 17, 2006 03:39 | #6 I sold my 300D with lens for around 400 and picked up a 20D used for 800. That's a better move according to me - but I have not played with a 400D. Canon 7D , Canon 6D, 100-400 L, 24-105 F4 L, 50 F1.4, Tokina 12-24 F4, Kenko Teleplus Pro DG 1.4X Extender

It is perfectly capable of taking excellant shots. Not to say that the XTi wouldn't be a significant upgrade for you, but if all you are shooting with is the kit lens, then money spent on a better lens could be another option.

I started with a 300D, have bought and sold lenses and gradually built up to a 70-200L f4, 50mm f1.8 mk1 and will soon add a 17-40L. I am now starting to realise the limitations of the 300D and am awaiting delivery of a 20D from the US. Main issues with the 300D are the fps rates (I am missing *lots* of shots at the moment) and noise at anything above ISO 200. Ipswich, UK

The 400D is capable of much better images than the 300D and is likely a more significant upgrade than newer glass and for a whole lot less.

but either direction you go, you will be much more satisfied with overall performance of both...not to mention power up time! Good luck!
