Just a question though. Are you absolutely sure that she had a Rebel XTi (400D) and not a Rebel XT (350D) or just plain Rebel (300D)? |
Thanks for the great comments and the link.
80x, reminds me of the CD drive speed wars. Does anyone know what x equal in absolute terms (bps like)?
That buffering performance sound acceptable (great
).
Yer, the badging said '400D'. Was talking to one guy I know (off-season competitor), he had a camera, it was badged '400D Rebel XTi'. Been paying lots of attention to cameras & badging lately.
