Better choice for what? The Rebel is a DSLR and has
orders of magnitude less noise than the point-and-shoot
F828. But the F828 has a movie mode, and the other
usual goodies included with a point-and-shoot camera.

Mainly for wildlife and scenery photography. What would take to get the
canon's lens up to the power of the sony? 200mm??

Yes. Sony tried to squeeze 8MP onto the same 2/3" sensor
as their 5MP F717, with depressing results. ISO 200 is nasty,
ISO 400 a disaster. See the partial crops here:

Note the 300D Rebel output, essentially smooth all the way
through ISO 400.

Noise seems to be a real problem for the Sony 8MP chip. There are a
also a number of other issues with this chip.

Unfortunately, this same chip is being put into a number of new 8
megapixel models not only from Sony, but surprisingly from Canon
itself! I don't know if Canon can overcome some of the noise issues
with the Sony 8MP chip by changing hardware or software.

One other advantage of the Rebel is that the firmware can actually be
"hacked" so that it comes close to doing what the EOS 10D ($2000 USD
retail) can do. So you're basically getting a $2000 camera by paying
less than half of that.
