I currently have a film Rebel and would like to finally move to digital. I have read a bad review that mentions that XTi has more noise compared to the XT. Also any comments on what lens to buy would be appreciated.
Also, is there a difference between black or silver body, other thanappearance (like scratches)?
I have the Rebel XT and I love it, it takes great pictures, and you can buy it in a bundel with multiple lenses.
Here is a picture I have taken with it to let you see the quality.
It is a great camera and i love the quality, the only problem is going between lenses.
The 18-55mm is a good one, yet small.
The 75-300mm is also good
As well as the 55-200mm is great
I have worked with these three and love them!
Good luck with your choice, maybe try going to a store and holding both and taking pictures with both, a camera should be a personal choice. Black or silver no real difference, I have the silver but the black is quite nice.
Here is a link to buy cheap Rebel XT’s its only 289, new!

I have the XTi, and it’s just great. It don’t have the noise on low ISO and even on ISO 800 they’re relatively clean.
What lens? The original kit lens is an OK lens that does its job – and it’s quite good on around f stop 8 and although I have a pair of other lens I still found it quite useful. I do have a 50mm f1.8 just to play around and a 28-200 for tele shoots though.
Black and silver… well there is no difference at all except for the color of the body. But since you’re asking about scratch resistance… I would guess the black one would stand better to resistance and even if it’s scratched it would hide the scratches better.

I’ve done what you are planning to do. I started off with a Rebel K2 film SLR. When I decided to buy a DSLR I started off with the Rebel Xt. The camera was pretty light but it felt slightly too small in general. So I ended up moving to the XTi and I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s a great camera for everything and it has a bit more weight to it. Overall the controls we’re nearly identical.
I loved the fact that I can use my film and digital lenses on it, which makes life easier. The lens that comes in the Canon kits is pretty low end. I would suggest getting a lens 28-90. That’s good for all around shooting. Canon makes a lens that goes up to 135, but if you want to spend the money on it, go ahead.
Enjoy.

Yes, the Canon Rebel XTi is an excellent camera and from my own experience, I found for external flash the ‘Canon Speedlite 580EX Flash’ the best though on the expensive side.
