Product Description

Canon's large-area CMOS sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in its class.

Customer Reviews

Exceptional value
As a Canon 10D owner wishing to upgrade I was heavily leaning toward the Canon 40D. However, after reading numerous reviews I opted for the Canon XTi. After using the XTi for several months I do not regret buying the less expensive body. Everyone researching the XTi, is already aware of its many improvements and the few differences with its bigger brother, the Canon 40D. So I will not repeat what been said so many times before. Instead, I will address my major concern about moving down to the XTi; namely, its petite size and perhaps less rugged construction. On both counts I am completely satisfied. I have large hands and am accustomed to handling medium size professional equipment. Yet, with the addition of a CA-1112 Canon Armor rubberized body case, I have no difficulty in maintaining a good grip on the camera, even with over-sized L series lenses. As for the ruggedness of the camera, I believe it will easily stand up to the three years of use I plan to give it. Given the rapidity of improvements with digital cameras, paying only half the price of the Canon D40 will enable me to upgrade more quickly. Bottom line--digital photography has changed the game from the days of film cameras, when a sturdy camera was expected to last for many years. (I still have my twin-reflex cameras packed away; and they still take great pictures, but I don't use them). I say go for the XTi and upgrade sooner. P.S. It's a pleasure to use the XTi: very responsive, easy to handle, good menu setups, and best of all, takes fantastic pictures.
