Some people say a negative of this lens is that it is only f4. But that's why it is only 599 new and a fraction of the weight of the 2.8. You could just as easily say a negative of the 2.8 is that it's not 1.4.
The lens is absolutely fantastic in every way but low light performance.

Pros:
|
Features Per $ among the best available. 1.6x crop factor.
|
|
Cons:
|
No spot meter. To small without batter grip for a 6'1" 220lbs guy. 1.6x crop factor. (Yes it is both a pro and a con)

I've had this camera for about 2 years now and it has not let me down yet. While I may upgrade soon I will be moving into FF territory and keeping my very reliable XT. The only thing I really miss is spot metering.
I recommend this camera all the time to people just getting into DSLR's. I still feel that, with the recent price drop following the introduction of the XTi, the XT is possibly the best value camera available. I would feel no need to pay the extra dollars to get 2 more MP's.
