Anyone know anything about the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi camera?

Question:Anyone know anything about the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi camera? I've had a DSLR camera in the past that didn't give me the quality of photos that I was looking for and was told that this is a great camera. Can anyone who owns this camera tell me what it's like? Is it easy to use? And more importantly do you know of a website or store that sells them at a good price?

It is a good entry level DSLR.
I would not rule out the Nikon D40/D60 series of cameras either.

Camera equipment is generally not discounted much, so any place that has camera gear for more than $100-200 under MSRP is probably a rip-off.

I work with and trust the following:
www.bhphotovideo.com
www.beachcamera.com
www.adorama.com

If you find other places online, check out their rating at:

If they have anything less than an 8, I'd stay away from them. If they are not even listed, i'd stay away from them.

i prefer the canon XSI. it's a bit faster, better res. a bit more money. but it's easy to use, lighter and has good features. but you cant go worn with either one.

hbphotovideo.com has a pretty good price for the camera.

I have the XTi and love it! It's a great camera for a beginner, a lot of the students at the Art Institute use this camera. I got a great deal for my camera, but that was 2 years ago right after Thanksgiving at Best Buy.

It's on sale right now for $629.99 at Best Buy.

Also available on Amazon.com for $589.88.

You may also be interested in the newer version, the XSi... but I suggest you get the XTi and a nice lens rather than the XSi.

I have the xt $200 lest than the xti and almost the same camera(you lose 2 mp- not that big a deal!) And I think it great!

I used to own the XT and it was a wonderful camera! I agree with a previous poster that it is no different than the XTi, other than price and 2 megapixels and that isn't a huge deal as both are able to print large photos with no problem.

I also disagree with the poster that stated camera prices don't go down that much. He is right in the sense that they hold their value, somewhat, but when a newer model comes out, of course it goes down in price, often times more than $200.
