Rebel XTi-- do you really need a cause?

Great camera... easy to use, and the menu setup is designed for quick changes on the fly. This is key when shooting-- you don't want to have to scroll through menu after submenu to get to the setting you want to change. Olympus, I'm lookin' at you.
One thing to keep in mind: the APS-C sensor size results in an effective focal length of 1.6x whatever the lens says. For instance, a 50mm lens becomes an 80mm lens on this camera body.
That having been said, any of Canon's EF or EF-S lenses will work on the Rebel body. Keep your old glass!

XTi Best thing since the EOS 35mm
Author's Rating:
When I first went digital 6 years ago, I was a 35mm junkie, I didn't want to give up my EOS 850 with lenses just to go digital, but I bought one. About a month after purchasing an Olympus 3030zoom Canon came out with the Rebel, needless to say I was just a little bummed out; I couldn't afford to get both. I was never completely satisfied because I couldn't use my various lenses so I would always take the EOS right along with my digital. The 3030zoom takes incredible pictures, but I was still a 35mm junkie.
I finally allowed myself to invest in this newer XTi about a month ago. This camera is so easy to use, almost a point and shoot, the functions you need are very easy to access either from the wheel or the menu. A lot of digitals are hard to operate because everything is buried in the menu, but you won't find that with the XTi. The pictures are FABULOUS! I have 3 lenses from my EOS that are at the oldest about 19 years old and each and every one has worked with it. One thing I would absolutely suggest to anyone who is purchasing, go to a store and put your hands on the cameras before you buy one. I was looking at the XT, thinking I will save a few bucks getting a couple of megapixels less with it. I went to the store to handle
