Canon Rebel XTi...


Looks like I was completely wrong about the 400D. It seems that Canon were launching the replacement for the Rebel XT (or the Canon EOS 350D, as it's known here in the UK) and not the Canon EOS 400D. Although, it may actually end up being called the 400D here... confused? I am...

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi offers an unbeatable combination of performance, ease-of-use and value. It has a newly designed 10.1 MP CMOS sensor plus a host of new features including a 2.5-inch LCD monitor, the exclusive EOS Integrated Cleaning System and Canon's Picture Style technology, all in a lightweight, ergonomic body. The Digital Rebel XTi is proof positive that Canon continues to lead the way with our phenomenal digital SLRs.

According to the canon site, it has a few significant upgrades on the old model:
- High performance digital SLR with 10.1 Megapixel Canon CMOS sensor and DIGIC II Image processor. High performance digital SLR with 10.1 Megapixel Canon CMOS sensor and DIGIC II Image processor.
