thinking about getting a canon rebel camera

[theGlove]

so are there any other comparable cameras that I can check out? What's the diff between a canon rebel and 20D?
thanks

The 20D has more megapixels... that's it. (pretty much)

Nikon D70 is also great.

Check out the Canon Rebel XT and not just the plain Rebel. Better CCD, larger pics, and better reviews. I think it has the same size pics as the 20D but I could be off...

20D is a 8.2MP camera
Rebel XT (350D) is a 8.0MP camera
Rebel (300D) is a 6.3MP camera

There are many differences between the 350D and the 300D, the 350D is definitely worth the extra money over the 300D. The 20D is a high end prosumer digital SLR but the differences between it and the 350D are few. Still, I pine for the 20D...or better yet the 1D MkII.

If you're looking to get into a digital SLR though I'd recommend the 350D. The big money will, and should, be spent upgrading lenses anyway.

You also need to go hold the cameras in store and play with them, then buy them online. The 350D has a much smaller grip than the 300D and to me, it feels funny. The D70 and 20D are much heavier than both, which gives them a better feeling as well.

 

Im jealous.....
My G2 is still hangin in there.

ok cool, thanks. I'm gonna check out the 350D (Rebel XT).
I'm looking for a camera that will output high quality photos, hopefully this should do it. I currently have an olympus z420 or something like that lol

Yah, I still use my powershot G3. Only problem now is I have like 5 freaking dead pixels on the CCD so I have to photoshop any pic I want to print.

This was taken this evening at about 6:30PM, by me, with my 300D and 70-200mm f/4L lens.

Edit-No flash, handheld, 100% crop...typical marine layer overcast evening in SoCal.
