Canon 10.1 MP Rebel EOS XTI

David, I bought the Xti this past February and I love it. I have nothing but good things to say about this camera. I wanted to step up from my Sony F717 and this was the best camera for me and my budget. I will be shooting a LOT of stills next year and very little video. I still have a lot to learn but I'm slowly getting to know all the bells and whistles of this camera. Anyway, here is a shot I got this year with the camera (the one that went on to produce the Arnett, OK tornado). You can go to my chasenews page at www.chasing-storms.com/chasenews and all of the images on that page were shot with this camera. Hope this helped!

I also thought I would add an image for you to see the resolution:

I'm very satisfied w/ the results of my XTi, & am missing it very much since it was stolen. :mad:
 
The camera is a great one, I've been very happy with it since I got it back in the beginning of this year. The quality of the images are great, I was recently contacted by a landscape printer that does pictures for corporate offices; the image was good enough to be blown up to 38x30" and was compared to their 22 megapixel landscape cameras. The body has no problems what so ever and I love all of the options and one thing I don't think anybody has pointed out is how on the back LCD screen it actually shows you all of the settings your camera is currently in. I think that is a great feature to have!

Of course a lot it will be what type of glass you have in front of it; I'm currently using the Sigma line of things and it hasn't done me wrong yet. For wide angle/landscape I use the Sigma 17-70 lens and then I have a Sigma 70-300 for the long shots... I'd be happy to answer any other questions David if you have them.
 
With the praise Mike and I have given Canon's L glass I thought I would show some examples, since we all know the proofs in the puddin ;)

This is a post I made on the 70-200L + 1.4x extender: so we are talking like 1.6x from camera + 200mm + 1.4x, ill let someone else do the math for the mm I was shooting. http://www.stormtrack.org/forum/showthread.php?t=9072

This is with the 24-70 both shot handheld. (it has an amazingly short focal length)
