Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only - Black) |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Perfect Tool for a Professional Beginner
Comments: I love the Canon Rebel XT. I use it for work, where I manage communications for a high school. Despite that I have no real camera or photography training, I find the XT comfortable and easy to use. Although the school supplied me with this camera, when I next need to purchase1for personal use, there is a great chance this will be my choice.
I am the chief paparazzo, taking candid pictures of students, teachers and events. We have pro photographers for major things, and they use higher level equipment, however for quick, on-the-spot shots, I grab the XT and I am out the door.
Images are clear e time, thanks to the camera accurately predicting what I am interested in. There is an auto/general pictures options, as well as context-specific options (distance, action, close-ups and others). The flash is perfectly timed and is at the correct level for whatever amount of light I need.
The download software is quick, and interfaces with Windows with no conflicts.
All images download as jpegs, so there are no conversion issues. I open them in Adobe Photoshop, and take it from there.
It is small enough to carry discretely, however big enough to get the job done.
I fully endorse the Canon Rebel XT.

Summary: Awesome 1st
Comments: If you are looking into photography seriously however have no idea this is a perfect place to start. Canons are really user friendly and take amazing photos. Once you get the hang of it you can switch up the lenses and learn more. Canon's are the best!! |

Summary: Excellent camera still worth seeking
Comments: This camera was my 1st DSLR and it turned into my springboard into photography as a near addiction. Though Canon has rapidly expanded its entry-level EOS line, this is still a great camera to seek out as its price is falling pretty rapidly.
The obvious downside to purchaseing this camera is that its screen is much smaller than just about any LCD screen currently on the market. Its a great screen, though, and be sure to check your histograms regardless of camera.
8MP is a fine pixel count, there is more to a great picture than the the number of pixels on the sensor, and if you shoot in raw you will be able to get decent sized prints, if you print at all (I rarely do). Even the "large JPEG" mode is great for smaller prints like 4x6/5x7 prints.
What this camera's low price allows you to do is spend more money to get the great lenses and other equipment that you will use well beyond the life of1camera (hopefully). Yes, the APS-C sized sensor makes that 'crop factor' however it is workable and there is a wide range of compatible lenses designed for Canon's EOS line. In addition, I would endorse picking up the 430EX flash, as your indoor photography will greatly improve with something better than the pop-up flash.
I have been pleased with the results and it is a great way to get started in DSLR photography, which is a different experience from point and shoot cameras. If you are unsure about what your shooting demands are, or whether you even want to pursue photography more as a hobby, the Rebel XT is great camera. |

Summary: The Perfect Entry Level Digital SLR
Comments: Been using this as my primary still camera for the last 2 years. At that time, it was the best selling entry level digital SLR camera. A sub-500$ with an 8mega pixel resolution. Uses CF card. It is an entry level camera however is considered quite an excellent performer in many levels.
It comes with a battery and a sleek compact charger. It uses the well known Digic II image processor. 7-point AF.
Pros:
- quick start-up time and shutter lag is alalmost all negligeable
- Image quality is close to the more expensive EOS 20D. Color rendition and low-noise
- Lighter and smaller than its predecessor
- Can shoot RAW format
- Burst. 14 frames at 3 frames a second
- Impressive long battery life.
Cons:
- Cannot shoot using the LCD panel. You always have to use the viewfinder. LCD is for menu and playback only.
- Supplied lens is basic. No image stabilizer. Slow.
- No movie capability |
