A friend of mine still teases me about using high-end Canon L glass on
my tiny Rebel XT...


The Rebel XT has a finer pixel pitch than any other Canon but the 20D,
so it and the 20D can utilize the sharpest lenses best.


Not so sure about this....are we talking in the canon line or between the
Nikon and the XT (and 20D)?
If we are talking just about the Canon range, I can see that the 20D and
possibly the XT might have a finer pixel pitch than the full frame cameras
but I believe the sensors are also closer to the lens (hence the 1.6 crop
factor).
