can anybody tell me if its worth it to get the XTi instead of the XT. i know the XTi is faster and has a larger LCD screen. is it worth spending the $200 to get the XTi?

have you tried/ felt the canon series

i personally find the build quality on the xt to low and too small

i personally like the XTi and i would say that if you have the extra 200 bucks to spend then go for it, but i dont think it would kill you to just have the XT

that's what I'd do. or if you have the extra $200, try to find a used 10D or 20D instead of the XT series

I agree with the used d20. Someone i know just sold one for 850CANADIAN with a 1gb CF card and a crappy lens. But still.... Deals like that aren't hard to find
