New Digital Rebel XT Versus Canon 20D	Can't Post

I purchased a 20D a few months ago because there were a few things I didn't like a about the Rebel. Now Canon comes out with a Rebel XT that takes care of everything I didn't like with the first Rebel. It's faster, it's 8 MP, and it comes in black (like the Canon Kiss in Japan). Has anyone had a chance to compare the new Rebel to the 20D? They seem to be very similar in a lot of ways.

from what I understand...the XT has 9 of the major functionalities that the Canon 20D brought to the market.

Basically...same image chip, same startup time, smaller frame, 8 megapixels compared to 8.2 for Canon 20d, etc...

if anything Canon just saved you money on buying a back up camera.

If your gear is paid for, KEEP IT!
