Re: Rebel XT

Large buffer for fast shooting, 8mp to make somewhat larger prints, 
(also allows for more cropping). Small size with a good grip, oh wait 
the *ist-Ds already has that.  The first two items.  On the other hand 
it's not enough better than the *ist-D or Ds to make it worth the hassle 
of changing systems if you already have Pentax lenses. From a new users 
standpoint there's nothing not to like, unless they actually look 
through the viewfinder and compare it to a Ds.

On a related note, I notice the Canon supports FAT32.  Mmm...FAT32=2
Terabytes of storage. But I don't know if I'd want a huge number of
unbackedup images on a large CF card. Especially on a FAT file system.
The *istDS manual doesn't seem to say too much about it, but what is the
maximum SD card that the DS supports? Is it FAT16 only? Not really an
issue, 4GB would be plenty for me anyhow.
     

The *ist-D supports FAT32, which is why you can use 4GB cards in it;
the FAT16 limit is 2GB.
Another thing not to like about the canon; the 1.8" rear LCD screen,
with even less pixels than the 300D.
