Now that Canon has released the latest addition to it’s ever popular Digital Rebel lineup, the XSi, many current Rebel XT or XTi owners are likely wondering about upgrading. The short answer is . . . don’t! It’s really not worth it. Sure, Live View, a larger LCD, and faster FPS can seem enticing, but is it really worth it? What is it your really after here?

First things first. Let me just say, that megapixels (MP) don’t mean a damn thing anymore. I know, I know. The biggest print on the digital camera ads and packaging next to the manufacturers name is the number of megapixels the camera can store. The first thing some salesman is going to tell you about, is the number of megapixels.

Another advantage to the Canon 30D and 40D models, is that most accessories that work with the 30D and 40D will also work with cameras further up the Canon model line like the 5D. Rebel accessories generally won’t.

More bells and whistles, or better pictures? Personally, if I’m going to upgrade it’s going to be something substantial. Something that allows me to take better photographs, and improve my skills as a photographer. Allow me to illuminate.This what should i take into consideration when buying a digital camera and this digital camera prices should help.

Being one of the best selling models in the Canon line, a major overhaul would have been crazy on Canons part, both from a sales number perspective, and a user experience perspective. They have however added several smart new features. Not the least of which being Live View.

Given the perpetual affliction of “upgradeitis” that many cameras geeks find themselves in, that could save a whack of money on the next upgrade. Of course you don’t necessarily need to save that money, you could always just sink it into a really nice new lens to go with that upgraded camera

So, you’ve had your Canon Digital Rebel XT for a while, and you’re starting to get a little camera envy. Nikon, Canon and the competition keep releasing new models with more bells and whistles. Which of course leads you to thinking about how much better your photos could be with the latest technology.

Coming from the training grounds of point and shoot Photography, I always thought it odd, that practically all higher priced digital SLR cameras never had Live View. Something that even the simplest and cheapest point and shoot digital cameras have.
