I was looking at the 400. then i started looking at the 30D. I tried to compare the two but for some reason i couldn't. What is the diff. I know the 400 has a higher mega pixel then the 30d i was looking at. Anyone have any advice as to what to buy.

The image both produce is almost identical. Take a trip to Best buy and handle both. Pick the one you like best. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Mar 02, 2008 19:42 | #6 I would vote for the XTi or XSi over the 30D. Just get a grip for $60 if the size is an issue. Have you looked at the 40D? The XSi seems to be pretty close to the 40D..

hastur Member  167 posts Joined Jul 2007 More info | Mar 03, 2008 09:24 | #9 I decided to get a 20D instead of the 400D over a year ago and I'm glad I did it. The thumb wheel on the back allows me to change all kinds of things without holding a button down and twirling the wheel under the index finger. The XXD's have a prism instead of a mirror in the viewfinder so it's larger and brighter. I like the 20D's metal body better than the plastic of the 400D. I can't tell the difference between 8mp and 10mp, not to say there isn't one, I don't print large enough to tell. How can you trust a man who wears both a belt and suspenders? The man can't even trust his own pants. - Frank (Henry Fonda) in Once Upon a Time in the West.

Thank you for the tips If the 300 was big, the 30 will seem bigger and the XTi a bit smaller. Sounds like the XTi is what your looking for. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Mar 03, 2008 11:56 | #12 If you can afford it, and can wait, I'd seriously consider waiting until the XSi (450D) is released before making your purchase. The XSi is a pretty significant upgrade to the XTi, and if you don't feel the new features are worth the price premium, the XTi price should go lower after the new model is released. John
