The Canon Digital Rebel XT / EOS 350D is Canon’s replacement to the 300D Digital Rebel. As an owner of the Canon 10D digital SLR, I have been watching the latest developments hoping to replace my aging camera. First, why would I (or you) choose the 350D over the 20D? For me, the primary factors were the small size, light weight, and price. As someone that plans to carry the camera for extended time periods on hikes, and other travels, the Canon 350D, seemed to be a better choice.
