Hi

I'm asking this on behalf of a friend, what is the difference between the 400 D Rebel XTi and the 400D. Why are there two different names to it?

Also, this lens, is it still being sold, am I right in thinking that a newer version has come out?

Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens

He's seen a reconditioned Rebel XTi and the above lens for sale but I thought I'd just ask a couple of questions on here on his behalf.

Any comments appreciated. Personally, I wouldn't buy a reconditioned one and I think I'll tell him that too.

Don't know about the camera but Canon are now selling a 70 - 300 IS lens - I beleive there were problems with the earlier 75 - 300 lenses and they had some bad press (try looking up a review of the lens)
I know a few people who have bought reconditioned cameras with no problems.
Cameras have different names in other countries - XTi etc are often made for sale in the USA

Hi

Thanks for the replies, he's bought a 400d brand new with the kit lens.

Many thanks.
