The Rebel XT is the perfect weight for hiking, biking, whatever. It's small and so light! It makes a lot of difference to me because of my back, especially when I take it to NY or elsewhere and carry it around doing some street photography.

It would make an awwwwwesome backpack camera for mountain bike rides. And after a little bit of use I think the AF and speed might even be better than my 10D. What do you think? Should I trade in the 10D for a Rebel XT?

Stay tuned for Larry's Rebel XT review. He already contributed a review of the Canon EOS 20D and he compares the two cameras in the new review.
