Digital camera reviews of Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 Lens (Black)
Digital camera Review: 0 star
Summary: 1 Stars
Why I gave it one star? Because it doesn't even power on although I bought it brand new. Of course I fully charged the battery! Of course i tried new batteries.
I called canon, canon said I had mail it to canon for services and i have to pay the shipping to the factory.
I asked how long to get it fixed and they said at least a month. I asked can I get a exchange and they said no.
The body and lens are made with plastic. very cheap.
For a product and services like this, it deserves 0 star.
You gave it 5 star because you are lucky.
Digital camera Review: 2nd best

Short and sweet.. Spend the extra money for the XTi. I returned this camera and bought one. The XTi outshines this unit for about $100 more.Digital camera Review: A Good Value & A Nice Place to Start
Summary: 4 Stars
Out of the box ready to use with the option and flexibility to grow with you. I purchased this camera as a novice user wanting to learn more. I have found, what I already knew, too big for the purse, so it won't replace my point and shoot but when I really want a nice picture I love what it has to offer. I find that I use manual mode and auto equally in order to make sure I have the picture. I have been able to learn about settings, shutter speeds and lighting and for website publishing I have had great success. I am loving the camera and the ability learn more about photography. It's easy to change lens but it is more work than a point and shoot. Great price for body & lens. Nice shutter speed and option for multiple pictures instantly. Makes you feel like you know what your doing. With a little more experience I probably would want to pay a little more and get the upgraded version of the Rebel Xti and beyond. For my needs, it is a nice choice.Digital camera Review: A fantastic camera for the amateur or the enthusiast!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this camera for over five (5) years and I absolutely love it. I have never had any problems with this camera and it has performed amazingly. I have taken around 50,000 pictures with my Rebel and it is still going strong. I have the same original batteries that I got with my camera. My batteries have always lasted a long time before needing to be recharged; when I shot sports I could use one battery for roughly the whole day. Canon products are very high quality, which is what you can expect with brand name Japanese electronics. The Canon lenses are also fantastic; I have owned the high-quality standard 50/1.4, the portrait 85/1.8, the mid telephoto 70-200/4.0, the amazing 100/2.8 macro,and the wide-angle 17-40 L. These are all fantastic lenses to put on your Rebel, and you can rest assured that there is a whole range of Canon products to suit your needs. The only downside to these products is that they are quite expensive.
As far as the Rebel, the only complaints I have are these:
1. The amount of noise at 1600 ISO makes these pictures generally unusable.
2. The AF system is not robust enough for sports; you can do it but it's hard.
3. The grip, somewhat small, can take getting used to.
4. The camera can't take too many RAW or high quality JPEG pictures in succession (important for sports).
In general this camera is a dream for most peoples uses. Eight MP will give you high-quality prints. Unless you want to blow up your pictures to poster size this camera will be great for you.
Digital camera Review: A good camera for beginners, but flimsy construction
Summary: 4 Stars
The good aspects of the Canon Rebel series are easy to rattle off: the cameras are affordable, they're compatible with a large variety of Canon's incredible lenses, they can be set on full auto or fully manual (so you can grow into it), and they're compact and light. For someone unfamiliar with SLRs, this is a good starting camera.
The downside is equally simple: Canon Rebels don't last forever. I don't find it much fun to hold a camera with a plastic body, and it may be nerve-wracking to know that one minor drop could render your camera broken and useless. Canon makes many genuinely awesome cameras; the bottom-of-the-line Rebel is good, but not nearly so much as some of their others.
