I almost bought the XT, but figured that i'd spend the extra couple hundred to get the XTi. i think i bought it camera + lens for about $750-.

Ah, I'm SO JEALOUS. I've been wanting the XTi forever. Now that I've got a job, I can afford to drop $800 into one! dSLR here I come!!

Do you have any photos from it online anywhere? I've read in several places where people have recommended just buying the body and getting a higher quality ($$$) lens to put on it, but either one would be a step up from what I've been using. I'll probably just get the kit lens, but it'd be nice to see some photos taken with the it at it's widest so I can see for myself what it looks like before I buy it.

Todd -- Here is a whole slew of pictures taken with the XTi:

There are a lot that are taken by "professionals" but most are taken by average joes.

That's a great site, thanks for the link. It's good to see the all the information along with the pictures.

i've only had it for about three weeks and i've been so busy that i really haven't had a chance to put the pics i've taken online.

I took these pics at the WVU rock wall. it's one of those places where even though there seems to be a lot of light, and point and shoot will use a flash. I decided not to do that, and instead shot at 1600 speed film and a 1/60th of a second:

personally, i was amazed that they even came out.
