Since Canon has released the modern addition to it’s highly sought after Digital Rebel lineup, the XSi, many current Rebel XT or XTi owners are usually wondering about upgrading. The short response is . . . don’t! It’s really not worth the cost. Sure, Live View, a larger LCD, and faster FPS can be enticing, but is it worthwhile it? What is it your really after here? More bells and whistles, or better pictures? Personally, if I’m going to upgrade it’s going to be something substantial. Something that allows me to take better photographs, and improve my skills as a photographer. Please let me illuminate.

Many of the Canon Digital Rebels are really just basic digital SLR cameras. That includes the XT, XTi, and XSi. Don’t misunderstand me, they’re really unquie cameras, and provide an excellent bridge for those wanting to move from the no-brainer simple world of point and shoot photography to the beautifully rendered near-pro quality of SLR photography. Arguably Canon has done a better job of filling that gap. Better then any other camera manufacturer including Nikon, Sony, and Olympus. My point being though, if you really want to move up to a better SLR, then raise your sights a little higher, and look into the Canon EOS 30D or Canon EOS 40D. It does not only challenge you to improve your photography skills, but also produce much better photographs.

By skipping up a model line in the Canon chain of command, you employ a few extra advantages. Moving up to a 30D or 40D provides you with a full metal camera body. Metal bodies are far more shock resistant, and durable than the molded plastic found on the Digital Rebel lineup. The more delicate and sensitive internal camera parts can survive longer encased by a metal body. In addition, you’ll get better ISO performance, metering and picture control. Also, try to keep in mind, that more megapixels does not necessarily make a better camera. Especially once your over 5MP.
