Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 Lens (Black) Reviews

Summary: Canon Digital Rebel XT
Comment: As a new user of digital cameras, I bought this unit kinda on a whim. I'd purchased its 35mm film-based cousin last month and when my wife's Minolta point-and-shoot started acting up, I figured it was time for an upgrade; and since most of my former camera work was done with 35mm SLRs with real glass lenses, I opted for something that looked familiar. Only after I bought the Rebel did I find out that it was a fairly well-rated camera.

Two things that caught me off guard: 1) it doesn't come with a memory card, and 2) it doesn't support video recording. Neither of these are deal breakers, but for a $500 camera a $1 memory card should have been in included. And the non-video capture ability just surprises me as I see this feature in lower priced units.

I'll update this review after spending some time using the camera.

Summary: Great camera for beginners
Comment: Great camera for the great price. It's a good choice for beginner who still doubt if SLR toys are for them. Actually, it's a big step from SLR-like cameras, the picture quality is much better, especially in low-light conditions. It's not a brand new model, if you are not on budget, take a look to successors Canon Rebel XTi 10.1MP or newest Canon Rebel XSi 12MP or, if you don't want Canon, try other brands like Nikon and etc, which I believe also provide the same quality (for the same price).

Summary: Great Camera, Great Value
Comment: This camera is an amateur photographer's dream. It's compatible with all current generation lenses (unlike the higher-dollar Canons). The kit lens is quite good quality but you may not be happy with its performance indoors. Make sure you also look into getting one of the inexpensive prime lenes (prime = non-zoom). The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II is an excellent value.
