I've heard a lot of good things about this camera; what are its downfalls? I know it had a viewfinder but it also has an LCD screen.. can they both be used for shooting pictures or can you only see through the viewfinder to shoot?
What about compared to the Canon 1100 SD IS?
Answer
No, using the viewfinder on a SLR or DSLR is how composing and choosing exposure is done.
There are just a few DSLR's that have the live-view feature and unless you are using a telescope, microscope or shooting table tops (small product advertising) live view is not really necessary. If your idea is to use live-view the same way P&S cameras owners do, composing photos while holding the camera at arm's length, it is a bad ideal This always introduces camera movement and after a few hours of doing this with a two pound plus camera and lens, you will see why this is not a recommended technique.
There is another little quirk with the live view equipped cameras. Most of them will not auto-focus in the live view mode, although the Nikon D3 and D300 cameras will in two modes ... tripod and hand held. I use the live view to wow my inexperienced clients ... sort of like how we used to use Polaroid adapters on our cameras in the days of shooting film ... to prove to them we really knew how to use our cameras to get perfect exposures ... expensive photo schools aside.
Other than the fact the XT has interchangeable lenses, has been used by many beginning pros successfully for years and has a sensor that is over 15 times larger than the 1100 SD only you can decide which will fit your style of shooting. Go into a store and hold both in your hands and see which you like the best

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT?

Im looking into buying the CANON EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT....I am an ametuer and would like to get strongly into photography....Should I go with this camera? Also what is the difference between the Rebel XT and the 20D, or 350D, or 5D? Thanks
Answer
The Canon Rebel XT is a great camera. It's the bottom rung in Canon's current digital SLR lineup. The full offering is:
* 1DsMk2 ($7000)
* 5D ($3000)
* 30D (this replaced the 20D earlier this year)
* Rebel XT (a.k.a. 350D)
And then there are some discontinued models like the original digital Rebel (a.k.a. 300D). As you move up the ladder, the cameras obviously get more expensive. For the extra money you get more megapixels, more features and a better build quality. The 5D and the 1DsMk2 are also 'full frame'. These models are perfect for Canon photographers who have a huge investment in Canon lenses from the film days.
You really can't go wrong with the Rebel XT as your first dSLR. My only complaints with it are the size (it's pretty small) and the build quality. If you're not committed to the Canon brand, go to a camera shop and compare the Rebel XT with a Nikon D50. The D50 is also a great entry level camera. And just like Canon, Nikon offers a fantastic upgrade path and stellar lenses. I just personally find that the D50 is better value for money.

p.s. If your budget is big enough that you can afford the next model up, consider better lenses first! That's where the image quality comes from.
