In my ongoing camera researching quest I have run across a bit of a puzzler. I was at dpreview doing that really cool side by side comparison thing. On one side I had the 30D and on the other the Rebel XTi. It seemed to me that the XTi had more features (higher megalpixel rating, the dust thing etc.) and was lighter besides.

Yet if one were to take price as a measure of quality, the 30D should be superior. Does anyone here have any comments?

P.S. I'm hearing rumors of a 40D in a few months. Anyone here have the inside track on that?
