Well, once the $100 rebate on the Canon Rebel XT hit "the street" my mind was made up.
Thanks to pRon & others for thier valuable input. I settled on the XT. I bought it at Costco for $799 and will be mailing in my $100 rebat soon.
My accessories are starting to float in. I bought the Opteka Battery Pack Grip, Two spare batteries and Remote Switch (for portraits). Now I get to start saving my $$ for a Telephoto lens!
The responsiveness compared to my old Canon A80 is dramatic. I have just taken some shot around the house and some pictures for a real estate project I am working on. So far so good.
I have not played with any manual settings. This camera will be run on full auto for 99.9% of the time.
