bah.. browser cleared my post.. trying again.

I also have an XTi. My hobby camera for playing around, mostly HDR, which is a lot of fun, but sometimes time consuming. (check http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/ for Linux users) My favourite lens is the 50mm f1.4. I'd rather walk closer then carry around heavy zoom lenses, although f2 for a zoom is impressive, probably more expensive than all my camera gear combined!

Anyways, thanks for pointing out the canon reward program. I really liked my SD300 for casual shots and taking to parties and such where a SLR is cumbersome. I'll have to call and see what they offer.
