The big question though is which one's best for you? We've already reviewed all three at Cameralabs, but to answer the burning questions of potential buyers we're pitching them directly against each other in this group test. Each model has many pros ...

Imaging Resource The new Rebel XTi has a 10.1 megapixel sensor, a 2.5 inch LCD screen, and a new dust cleaning system. Ultimately, the Canon Rebel XTi is an improvement of an already superb camera — the Rebel XT — with Canon's latest and greatest ...

The Digital Rebel XTi is the long-awaited upgrade to Canon's very successful Digital Rebel XT (see our review). Like the XT before it, the Rebel XTi (known as the EOS-400D in some countries) is an entry-level digital SLR, but that doesn't mean that it ...

Excellent photo quality (though see issue below) ; Very low noise, even at high ISOs ; Dust reduction system ; Large 2.5" LCD display ; Full manual controls, including nice white balance controls ; Robust performance, especially in terms of continuous ...

Images on the soft side at default settings ; Small, hard to hold body ; feels too "plasticky" in my opinion ; Below average battery life ; No spot metering ; No 2 second or custom self-timer (though mirror lockup is a workaround for the former)

Note: the 18 - 55 mm lens shown in some of the product photos is not the same model as the one included with the Rebel XTi

Snappy autofocus response ; best image quality in price class ; automatic dust-removal system

Uncomfortable grip ; controls are more difficult to learn than Nikon D40x's

Although the design is slightly clunky, the Digital Rebel XTi is the best in its price class in terms of image quality.

That said, it's worth noting that when we swapped the supplied lens for the more expensive Canon 70-300 IS USM lens, the 400D produced even better images. One option for enthusiasts then is to just buy this cam's body and put the cash saved here ...

Quality photos, lightweight and easy to handle, comprehensive manual settings, great on-board interface.

A little expensive, basic standard lens.

Although the 400D is a pricey entry-level SLR, its capture quality, versatile manual settings, lightweight design and interface more than balance the equation. Highly-recommended.

Third-generation Rebel piles on the megapixels, but loses its status LCD.

Excellent image quality, Increased resolution over the Rebel XT

No dedicated status display

This full-featured SLR delivers excellent image quality at a very reasonable price and is a solid choice for users who like its size and feel
