    What do you mean with “Upgrades”?

    This is a new product line below the 3-digit Cameras (300D,400D,450D).

    Claudius,

    From what I read this is the successor to the Rebel XT. They must have re-factored the way they are doing their model numbering…though I could be mistaken.

    I thought the successor to the XT was the XTi, and then the XSi. I don’t see the specs of this being positioned as that, but a stand-alone new series.
