For all those "What Camera Should I Buy" people

Ritz has brand spanking new 30D's for $699, right now, act soon.

If you are buying a Canon, this camera SMOKES the XT series.

Yes. Yes you are so very right.

your convincing points: it's much better than XT series.

people are still going to ask -_-

can you at least explain WHY they're better than the XT series?

i got my XT for $350 with the kit lens, muuuch cheaper than this

But the XTI is how much? And the XSI? I believe when he said XT series, he meant the rebel series

and just because it is.

Performance, build quality, image quality (partially).

XT series = beginner/consumer cameras

10/20/30/40D = (Semi)Pro cameras

you can get the 30D refurbed (aka new) from adorama for 635 too

Would you buy a brand new car for $20000 or one that's been driven, wrecked, and repaired for $19000?

not the best analogy. i've bought refurbed stuff plenty of times before and all functioned like new (and LOOKED like new)

and there is no such thing as a refurbed car for just 1000 bucks cheaper. i don't even think they make refurbed cars...

It's fairly acurate.

fairly inaccurate**

refurbished items in 95% of cases are not defective in the first place and were returned within some 30 day guarantee, then polished up and resold for cheaper. win-win in my book. but you can spend the extra $50-100 for personal satisfaction. whatever you like
