Whicih DSLR? Anonymous
So, what DSLR Camera do you think is better, factoring in price?
Prices are w/ kit lens.
Canon XS - apparently its 649 euros, but not sure if that includes VAT, but its 552 euro ($859) with -VAT.
Canon XSi - $825
Canon XTi - $670
Canon 40D - $1130

40D is the best, but is expensive and heavy

XS is good enough and it's the cheapest.
XTi is trumped by the XS (except in AF points and RAW FPS),
XSi is the same as the XS with some minor improvements. Not worth the money unless you need those extra AF point and FPS.

Doesn't the XSi have a better viewfinder than the XS?

I tried the XSi in the store yesterday, the viewfinder was shockingly improved. It's actually better than the Dx0 series now, even though those have a larger sensor.

Oh yeah, XSi has a larger and brighter viewfinder if that is important to you.

If viewfinders are important to you the only way to go is with the 5D, 1Ds or D3. Can't beat those lovely big bright finders...looking through an APS-C (or god forbid 4/3) finder after that, or any 35mm finder really, is like looking out a jail cell window at the end of a hallway.

Plus if you plan on doing manual focus on a regular basis, the larger screen and the ability to swap it out for one with a split-circle is crucial.

Nikon D300! pwns all these cameras

"Nikon D300!" costs twice as much as all those cameras.
Also, the D300 doesn't take EF lenses. I can get USM for cheaps in EF lenses, still costs a premium in Nikkors.

The 40D's finder isn't terrible. It's no High Eyepoint Nikon, but I've seen 35mm VFs worse than the 40D's.
