However my XT has served me well in figuring out the DSLR world I have loved every minute of it. I have outgrown mine so if you decide you want the XT, you can buy mine! Maybe then I could convince my husband to let me buy the 40D. Pm me if your interested!!!

You'll find yourself drooling at the big 2.5"er when someone's chimping next to you with one. It's a good test of one's mental strength to be able to think about anything else for the rest of the day. Actually, the screen might be worth it. Glass is nice too, though...... Still rockin the silver xti

One reason I chose the XT over the XTI is the secondary LCD display. For me, that's a must have. Overall, the XT is a great camera and for the price its amazing. The XTI does have better technologies built-in. My vote goes to the XT for the one reason above. It's all up to personal preference though. Hope this helps! That's funny, after using the XTi for ~10 months, there's no way in hell I'd go back to using a secondary LCD. To have all of the shooting info printed brightly on a 2.5" screen is a godsend.

s8langwo Member  229 posts Joined Oct 2006 Location: S.W. Michigan More info | Oct 24, 2007 21:34 | #25 I own both, having owned the XT for 2 years and XTi for 3 weeks. I went last weekend and shot about 200 images with the XTi (first time really using it). I noticed the XTi focused in low light better than my XT. This is the only significant difference I've identified at this point (and my main reason for the upgrade). 7D, 85mm 1.8, 70-200mm 4.0 (non-IS), 24- 105mm 4.0, 430 EX (2X), and assorted useful accessories. (Some not so useful too!)
