EOS 400D / Rebel XTi vs Other Canon SLRs
The chart below compares the XTi with other current Canon cameras. What we've done below is presented something of a hybrid comparison between these three models. A red cell means that a given camera performs below the other two, a green cell means that it performs better than the other two, and a yellow cell means it falls between the other two. In cases where two cameras share a superior capability, both cells will be colored green.
We also have a table comparing the Canon Rebel XTi with competing models from other manufacturers. This table is a bit wider though, and breaks the page layout in some browsers, so we're simply providing a link to it here that will open in a separate browser window. See the Canon XTi vs the Competition comparison table for more info.
