I am a beginner of photography and taking a summer class this summer. I heard these are the best and I know the XTi is the newer of the two, but they each have pros and cons.

I like the XTi much better. I’ve used both, and I’d definitely say that the XTi is worth the little extra money, bigger screen, self cleaning sensor, body doesn’t scratch as easily. Essentially the XT is pretty much the same thing, so if you’re running a bit on a budget don’t hesitate to get the XT. As a student always keep in mind that you should invest more of your money in lenses and not on the camera body. While Camera bodies are constantly being upgraded lenses will hold their value for years to come.
I’d also like to note that the kit lens is an okay starter lens, but I wouldn’t recommend it at all. Although it keeps the camera resale value higher, I personally would’ve just bought body only and couple it with the cheap 50mm f/1.8 lens for it.
the 400D would be my choice. Only because the LCD is larger, the FPS is clocked slightly faster. The Resolution is increased… It’s everything the 350D is, but on steroids. Go for the 400D. Although, there is a 450D that just came out and that is even better. But you can’t ever lose if you go with Canon. =)
For the money, the Rebel XT is an exceptional bargain and deserves more than a cursory glance. It has a good quality Digic II processor and the 8 MP sensor makes great images with very little noise.
On the other hand, the XTi is also a great camera with more advanced options than the XT and it has a 10 MP sensor. It is a great camera with great image quality, but the images are just a tad bit shy of the quality produced by the Rebel XT.
