The 350/XT was reviewed using a pre-production model on DPReview last
month. Even though the camera was not a regular production item, 99% of
the review should be accurate. Any differences, if they exist, should be
minor...most likely slight firmware improvements.

If you haven't seen the review, you can find it here:

Yes, saw that one (and several others), but they mainly address the physical
layout and general sense of quality.

What I want to see compared are-

Focusing speed
Noise (at both normal and very high ISO)
Battery life
Time to resume shooting after buffer fills
And, of course, some comparison photos on image resource's comparometer

For starters, anyway! :> )

I don't know of a review that covers everything...you'll have to do what
others have done...search for the info yourself.

Google is your friend...

Considering the new 350XT uses Canon's new image processor DIGIC II, the same
one used in the 1Ds Mark II and the 20D, one could reasonably assume that it
would deliver similar, MUCH improved high ISO/low noise performance.

I bought my 20D the end of November. If I were buying today, I probably would
choose the new RebelXT.
