Which camera would you recommend? (EOS 400D or Digital Rebel XTi)?

Hello. I want to know what you think what's a better camera. This photographer I know takes these amazing with the Canon EOS 400D and I want to take good pics like that. But I also know that the Canon Digital Rebel XTi is a very good camera.

Here's the picture I was talking about (taken with 400D):

Isn't that amazing?


Thanks!

The 400 and the XTi are the same camera.
But the link you have under the 400 is for the 30D.

The 30D is heavier, sturdier, and has a few more capabilities. One of which is the capability to shoot 5 frames per second, rather than 3fpson the XTi. The 30D is more of a semi-pro camera, the Rebel, more of a consumer product. Don't let the 8Mpix vs 10Mpix confuse you. The 30D is the superior camera.

either camera can easily take that photo... if the right person is standing behind the camera. (that'd be you)

You might also want a better lens than the kit lens.

Don't forget, the lens are part of the additional expense that will give the outcome of your photos (ie if you want extreme macro shots, you need macro lens) Report It

Digital rebels are pretty good.

Kodak easyshare z710 - 7 megapixel, 10 power zoom. $287.10 with nimh battery at best buy.Unless you've got lots of money , stick with the easyshare.

I agree with Morey. Your photographer friend makes great pictures because he's a good photographer. Not because of his camera! Be cautious about thinking that a camera will magically make you as good your friend!

If you are seriously interested in learning photography from the beginning up, then by all means get yourself a D-SLR and start learning! But also know that your photographer friend could make the picture you showed with almost ANY camera! It's their knowledge and experience that you're admiring, not their camera!
