Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 Lens (Black) Reviews
I bought this camera couple months ago, got a great deal on Amazon.com at that time - camera, len included and 2GB memory card for under $450. If you come from point-and-shoot world, this camera definitely is a good start and Canon XT camera lessons on Canon website are very helpful. The included len is good but not great. After months of using it, I would say this is a great camera. It's not a big deal since I am expecting it. I primary use it to capture my newborn daughter pictures and this camera does a great job, I catch lot of 'Canon' moments of my daughter, I love the speed of SLR camera. One little complain is the attached flash pretty weak, but I still give it 5 stars because I know I can't ask for more at this price and an external flash is an easy solution.
However, I found myself outgrowing it rather quickly, and upgraded to the 40d. It was great. This was my first DSLR camera.
And we're not disappointed one bit. We love being able to take 10+ shots in a row. We're very pleased. After reading many reviews, both here and cnet, we decided to purchase the XT.
We were looking for an SLR to take good in-motion pictures. We're both very much amateurs when it comes to photography, but the manual was easy enough for us to understand how to take pictures OTHER than just on auto. Pictures are no longer blurry. And for the price (we found it brand new on ebay for under $500 with the kit lens), it can't be beat.
With our point-and-shoots, they came out terrible, and with kids, they never hold still. And wow, what a difference it is from point-and-shoot cameras. And this does a wonderful job of freezing the action.
The was my first DSLR and I LOVE the pictures. Very fast to capture those instant moments of your 2 or 3 year olds face. Great out door pictures and versatility with interchangeable lenses.
This camera body is light so it is easy to use. I am satisfied with this camera.
