* 10.1 effective Megapixel CMOS sensor
* New dust reduction system: 1) ultrasonic waves blast dust off the low pass sensor; 2) low pass filter split into two parts to keep the dust further from the sensor; 3) front of low pass filter now has anti-static charge
* Users can also create a "dust map" (Canon calls it Dust Delete Data) for dust that just won't go away; this information is saved in metadata, and the bundled Digital Photography Professional 2.2 software can remove it from your photos
* 2.5" LCD display (with 230k pixels)
* LCD info display has gone away; shooting info now shown on LCD; when you put your eye to the viewfinder, the screen goes dark automatically
* Now has 9-point autofocus versus 7-point on the Rebel XT
* Improved burst mode compared to Rebel XT: now takes up to 10 RAW or 27 JPEG images (still at 3 fps)
* Inherits the Picture Styles menu and RGB histogram from the EOS-5D and EOS-30D
* Same body design (and colors) as Rebel XT -- very hard to tell them apart; compatible with all Rebel XT accessories, including the battery grip
* Still uses DIGIC II processor and CompactFlash
* USB 2.0 High Speed supported
* Ships mid-September for $799 body only or $899 with the same 18-55 EF-S lens that comes with the Rebel XT
I'd definitely jump on it if I didn't already have the XT.
