Ok I ended up buying the Canon 40D over the XSi. I got the kit with the EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM len. There were a few things I liked better about the 40D.
1. Felt better, more rugged
2. Top mount display
3. Speed
This is my first DSLR and I have a lot to learn. Here is one of my first pictures.
