I think I'll get a Canon EOS 400D / Digital Rebel XTi with the standard zoom. Is it a good SLR?

That's why I thought I'd stick with Canon, 'cause I can still use these lenses. I'll be shooting travel photos and landscapes. I won't be buying any more lenses soon but like to keep my lens choice open. |
