Oldest Canon DSLR with LCD preview?

I have a Rebel XT and am thinking of upgrading not to new (can't afford it) but to another used camera. I mostly shoot small product shots and I really need an LCD preview (either on camera or hook to monitor) and I have actually been using my point and shoots just for this reason.

I would like to get back into DSLR and already have 5 Canon lenses. So what is the oldest (cheapest) model that Canon makes with an LCD image preview?

Thanks!

    Two older (and VERY good cameras, in their time) are the 10.1MP EOS 40D, released 2007...and the 12.2MP EOS Rebel XSi (450D) released 2008. Both cameras allow 'Live View' shooting and also allow 'Remote Capture' shooting, tethered to your PC using software provided with each camera.

    I still own my 450D and it still serves me well. I must admit I have never bothered with Live View. Each to their own I guess.

    I always thought all digital SLR's had an LCD preview. The only exception maybe the first Kodak DCS digital backs that were slapped to modern film SLR's at that time and were tethered to a computer for preview.
