Canon Rebel Xti, Canon 30D, Canon 40D which is better camera ?
I ‘m really interested in photography and I am going to take a class this summer. The canon rebel xti has more mp 10 vs. 8 for the other two. Is the Canon 30D or 40D worth the extra money?
First off your facts are a little off. The 40D has a 10MP sensor just like the XTi.
BUT the MPs have little to do with separating these cameras. The Digic III processor in the 40D has a lot more to do with quality than MPs.
The question you need to ask is “What am I going to do with this camera?”
The XTi is an entry level DSLR. The 30D and its latest successor, the 40D, are what some referred to as “Pro-sumer’ models.
The biggest differences in the 40D and the XTi are the extras and performance. 6.5 vs 3.5 fps, the Live View LCD (Which I would discourage using for a beginner in the field), ISO range, image buffering, faster autofocus, etc, etc, etc.
(The 40D has a larger mAh battery [which you can get for the XTi] because it sucks down the juice faster than Ted Kennedy and a martini, with the Life View LCD)
If you are taking your first photography class then I would suggest the XTi and take the money you save and buy better and faster glass to put in front of it.
If most of this didn’t make sense. Then buy the XTi and hurry up to class.
