I'm sure several people on this list already use the Rebel XT with
Canon prime lens. Just remember that because of the reduced sensor
size, it will multiply the focal lens by a factor of 1.6x. When you
put a 28mm lens on a Rebel Xt body, it becomes a 44.8mm lens.

I'm sure several people on this list already use a Rebel XT with EF
prime lens.

Canon is reported to have announced minor modifications to the Rebel
XT for Photokina 2006. Just remember that the Rebel Xt body is made of
plastic and that the price reflects its built quality.

A 12mp dslr like the Canon 5D has the potential of making your Pentax
67 redundant.
