I'm a big fan of Cannon and I hear the XTi's are pretty awesome, I don't have the XTi personally because I got a great deal on a new I have a D-20 after the D-30 came out, but a lot of people who I work with have XTi's and like them a lot.

as for the wide angle lense youre looking for, the standard XTi lense is what... 28-55mm? If you want a different one, you can find lense/body package together with different size lenses. check amazon.com or bhphotovideo.com

Having a CMOS sensor doesn't mean the XTi is a FF camera, the cheapest FF camera is Canon 5D.
Canon have 3 different sizes of sensor, 1.0x, 1.3x and 1.6x.
Xti has the 1.6x one.
from Canon.com
10.1 Megapixel APS-C Size CMOS Sensor
Canon's large-area CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in its class. This APS-C size sensor (22.2 x 14.8mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF Lens focal length. With an effective pixel resolution of 3,904 x 2,598, the EOS Digital Rebel XTi offers superb detail and clarity, even in large prints, and generates finished files that open at approximately 30MB in your image-editing software. On Canon's CMOS sensor, each pixel is captured with fine detail to create images of tremendous depth and resolution, ensuring enough information for even poster-sized prints.

If you don't need an DSLR then the size and weight of the SLR will
just be a burden. Not to mention it'll cost a hell of a lot more. Imagine how
much gear you'd need to replicate the Canon S5 (36 - 432mm F2.8 -> F3.5
stabilized!). I'd recommend a P&S with a nice lens over a DSLR with a bad
lens.
Of course, the flip side is there are things in a DSLR you can't buy in any
point and shoot.
