the camera is bad ass if you know how to use it

Im upgrading because hte rebel has too much NOISE at high iso in low light conditions for my taste.
Your camera is only as good as your glass

The nikko shots were on a shitty 55-200 on manual focus becasue hte auto is broke, you can tell it was taken with a bad lens (or i can)
I just ordered a 70-200 f/4l adn its a huge difference

what setup (lenses filters etc ) do you haev now that you think isnt good enough?

I never said this was a soccer mom's camera and I never said i didnt like it or it wasn't good enough. i love the camera, a friend just told me better things about the 20D, thats why i was thinking about buying one. i dont much right now, just the 18-55 lens it came with and a canon 70-300 ef lens i use for shows. i do know that the 20D is much easier to use, the XT i barely know about anything, maybe i should read up on it more.

Honestly you need to learn more about the camera than taking someones word for it or thinking that another body will make your shots look more professional. Good glass will make your shot, just have to learn how to set the camera for the conditions you have. The best advice I was ever told was camera bodies are disposable but glass last forever.

I shoot with a XT now and will be upgrading soon not because the body is not suited for my style of shooting but I simply have about worn it out. Like Joey said, "everyone will have the XT, XTi, 20D, and 30D because they are more consumer grade. The 5D is when it changes."
