Canon EOS Forum: Xti Vs. 30D or even 20D
350D, 400D, 20D and 30D are all great tools, that will hardly hinder most photographers on the technical side.... My suggestion is the 20D, better price point now and better build, don't be sucked into the more megapixels is always better....

400D vs 20D vs 30D [Archive]
however, comparing it to the 400D, It does have a better build , faster shutter of 1/8000, have a slightly different burst rate, better ISO (with 3200) and bigger body (some people find the XT too small).... Then, once you feel that you are ready for 'more' in the camera, then upgrade to something a bit more expensive, or just buy more glass....

Canon EOS Forum: 20D, 30D, XT, VS XTi for Wildlife
The XT, in turn, is a little worse than the 20D.... Personally, I'd go for the 30D, or the 20D if you want to save some cash....
