Yeah...the Rebel XT is certainly on my wish list! Even though I just purchased a G6 a few months ago, I'm finding it's limited in certain aspects (now that I've put it to use and got to know it better.) I really should have waited and went the DLSR route (Kicks self)!Oh well ya live ya learn. The G6 will have to do while I save those pennies! If you have lenses from your film camera...they may be compatible with some of the DSLR cams too. You won't have to invest more money, which may be another incentive! L8r Joe
