Re: Upgrade from Digital RebelXt?

When I upgraded from my 8mp Olympus E-500 and 10mp Olympus E-510 to a 18mp Canon T2i (550D) camera about four years ago, I noticed a huge improvement.  My Olympus cameras were excellent; it was just the technology gap was too great.  I would expect that you would see the same improvement if you upgraded to any of the newer 18mp or 24mp Canon Rebels (or a lot of the newer cameras as well).  If it were me, I would stay away from the T5 (1200D) or T6 (1300D) cameras because they are missing too many features etc.

Can you try a new Canon DSLR at a retail store?  Some of them might let you take a few sample pictures with it with your own memory card (in the store).  Then you could check the images out on your computer.
