Though the Rebel's performance is pretty solid, overall, the D80 is faster. |

The Rebel XTi's performance is definitely impressive, but it just can't quite keep up with the D80. |

The D80's weak spot is flash recycle time, but otherwise it equals or bests the Rebel. |

Lightning-fast start-up, and equally impressive shot-to-shot times give the D80 its edge. |
