Canon Rebel XT digital?

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I can not comment on increase in tonal pickup,

But 8 MP is only about 30 percent more than 6 Mp. (Area)
But is is only about 15 percent more in linear size. So the
theoritical resolution is 15 percent more.
15 percent more is not a lot. (And very often not visible in pictures).
(So choosing between camera's 15 % is an advantage, for upgrading
15 % is not a lot).

DPReview gave these numbers for 'resolution'.

I have both. The reason I only use the 10D as a backup is that the XT
is faster, starts up right away, and it feels more responsive. It has a
later version of the Digic processor.

I've got the 10D and I'm waiting out a cycle. The 20D would be nice but
the cash isn't there for it. To me,the 350D/Rebel XT doesn't offer
enough of the things I want besides quick startup.

ok i am going to wait for the generation beyond the XT before upgrading,
based on all the postings to my original post. Thanks all!
