Canon Digital Rebel XT or XTi???

[Spatula 0]

If you had to choose, which would you get? I'm leaning toward the XT (8meg) just b/c the cost is a bit less. Aside from cost and meg size is there any notable difference?

Thanks

XTi has self cleaning sensor. Worth it for that alone.

50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Like the monkey just said... The sensor cleaning features of the XTi are also a nice feature.

One thing that wasn't mentioned in the last thread is that on the average people were finding the XTi to get a 1-200 less shots per charge. Mostly due to the larger LCD screen I think. I would recomend 2 batteries for either though.

i NEVER drained my standard battery on my 350d/XT perhaps if your doing a full time job as video/photho guy at the dz all day long..
Not even in frezzing conditions doing serval night shots...
the 400d/xti will use more power on the bigger screen but the bigger screen is the best at the new cam i think..
If i need the sensors cleaned ill pay a pro to do so.. i had my cam for 1,5 year i havnt cleaned it yet.. not needed..

I have had to clean the sensor on my XT once. It was due to condensation that had formed jumping on a very humid day. I have also run my battery out of power many times. I do however shoot video full time on the weekends.

The general information that I can find on the two is:

Canon Digital Rebel XT 400 shots NB-2LH
Canon Digital Rebel XTi 360 shots NB-2LH

That is with 50% flash use, so the numbers using no flash will be higher, but there is still a difference. Don't take this to mean I don't recomend the XTi. Just warning that you will have to be more conscious about battery usage. I have an XT and plan to get an XTi when I have more cash laying around. (HDV camera is next though)

well i often has wondered how much my batterys can take and often has been surpriced.

No matter,no reasson to get low on power if you want to get the shots in,one day this super battery of mine also dies,then a second will be handy

also has to add that i never use the built in flash so i dont use power on that one.i have a external.It all eat the power.

Also the weight of the XT is lighter then the XTi.. I just went with an XT and I LOVE IT!!!!

The weight difference is 16 grams, or 0.04 pounds. Don't think that's gonna play a big part of the decision.

the wieght differnece on my neck under a snapping canopy problem makes a difference to me... Don't get me wrong that not the reason I bought it just another fact and it sure did feel heaver then .04 pounds when I held both of them in my hands at the store... Just my $0.02

I'd fix that "snapping canopy problem" if I were you.
