Excellent Camera
This is an excellent camera. It takes great pictures and it is easy to learn how to use. I would recommend this camera to anyone!
Excellent DSLR
This is just the camera I was looking for. I was tired of the slow shutter speeds of non DSLR cameras and wanted a DSLR. I was going back and forth between the XTI and the XT. I felt that it wasn't worth the extra money for me (due to my lack of experience with this type of camera) to get the XTI so I settled on the XT. I have been very happy so far. I am still discovering everything this camera can do. Great camera!
Not professional, but a very nice camera.
This is a nice camera. It is not a professional camera and you may not get professonal results, but it is still a very nice camera and I am extremely satisfied with the camera.
I cannot say as much about the 18-55mm lense. As with any optical device such as cameras, telescopes, etc., the view is only as good as the glass. The 18-55 has its place if you need a lense that you can beat up on. Take it from someone that already bought this product. Buy this camera witout the lense and use the difference to purchase a nice lense separately. I purchased a f/1.8 50mm lense for $100 and the difference between it and the kit lense is amazing.
The camera has done everything I have asked of it so far. Nearly professional quality shots are possible with this camera given you have the right lense/glass and know how to use this type of camera. If you want to buy it and don't know anything about Digital SLR cameras, buy a book and learn.......you'll be glad you did.
yet another postive review
I already had so I was already predisposed to getting a Canon Digital camera. I love my Elan but it's the digital age!
The Digital Rebel works with all my Canon lenses without a problem. It took a little time getting different to the behavior due to the size of the sensor versus the film but not too long.
The unit is well made and has stood up he test of time.
Color response is accurate enough for me. It's clearly not film but I can live with it.
Cannon Rebel XT
The camera is wonderful, and it takes great pictures. The only thing that I do not like is the small LCD screen for viewing pictures, but otherwise it is easy to use.
