I sprung for the Canon XT, with spare battery, vertical grip, case, UV filter, and some other goodies I’m forgetting at the moment. Not sure if/when/how I’ll use the vertical grip, but the extra battery will come in handy.
The Canon Digital Rebel XT is undoubtedly the star of cameras PMA 2005 show (called the Canon EOS 350D in Europe). An 8 megapixel digital SLR with the same DIGIC II image processor found in Canon’s professional series D-SLR cameras, the Digital Rebel XT is an amazing upgrade of the already very popular Canon Digital Rebel. Build-quality is better than you may imaging, certainly a lot better than the original Rebel, but not as good as the higher-end EOS 20D. The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT also even smaller than the previous model, although not to small for my large hand size.
This is my dream camera. I used my friend’s Canon XT camera after that its my wish to purchase it.
