A while ago, Eric asked me what the difference was between my camera and the new Digital Rebel XT (EOS 350D). I compiled a short list of feature comparisons for him that I figured I might as well share with everybody else. All the information here came from dpreview.com, I simply picked out a few features and put them side by side.

EOS 20D |
Digital Rebel XT |
| Case Material | magnesium alloy case | plastic case |
| Drive | 5 fps, 23 frames | 3 fps, 14 frames |
| Resolution | 8.2 megapixel | 8.0 megapixel |
| Weight | 685 g | 490 g |
| Custom functions | more custom functions | still plenty of custom functions |
| Auto-focus array | 9 point diamond array focus indicator | 7 point plus-sign array focus indicator |
| PC sync | "pc sync" to allow direct connection with studio lighting | none |
| Photoshop | photoshop elements included | none |
| Image processor | quality image processor | uses the same image processor |
In short, they are both *excellent* cameras, but they target slightly different audiences. The 20D is a prosumer model: a bridge between hobbyists and the professional 1Ds. The Digital Rebel is a top-of-the-line hobbyist model. I do not regret my decision to spend the extra few hundred to get the 20D, but I would also be plenty happy with a 350D. For more information on either of them, I highly recommend reading the full reviews at dpreview.com
