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: Autofocus poor
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been waiting for a SLR digital that's affordable ($1,000 or less) and which can handle high ISOs well. I enjoy shooting without a flash, and am used to Fuji 800 film which has some beautiful grain, and I didn't want to loose that experience with my "upgrade" to digital".
The HUGE dissapointment is the focus appears very poor. I've seen other poeple say the same thing on user groups, including some people suggesting it's only a problem in the "creative zones". Either way, I've ended up with more out of focus pictures in 2 months than I've gotten in 2 years.
Until Cannon fixes this problem, I wouldn't recommend anyone purchase it. It's really frusturating to have dozens of great compositions that are out of focus.

I bought this camera just last week and have not put it down since. I spent some time deciding between the rebel xt and the kd100. In the end I went with the rebel simply because of the 8 megapixels and overall better reviews. In fact the only reason I considered the kd100 was because everyone said the rebel was too light, felt flimsy, or was too small to hold. Naturally when the rebel arrived in the mail I immiedately examined the build quality and size of the camera. To be honest i wouldn't want a camera any larger, and I had no problem with the hard plastic body which I thought felt very sturdy in my hands. Size issues aside, this camera delivers fantastic pictures at an affordable price and that's exactly what I wanted.Digital camera Review: Awesome

This is just a great camera, especially at this price point. It is easy and fun to use if you are in a hurry, or if you want to be more advanced you can start digging into the features.
I bought this with a 2Gig memory card and have more than enough memory. If you are thinking about a digital SLR, this one will be a great choice.

Just received this camera as an anniversary present. I love it!! It is replacing my Canon Rebel 2000 film camera. The XT is extremely easy to use, fast, and takes incredible pictures! I photographed a painting on our living room wall from quite a distance. When printed on 4x6 photo paper, I could still even read the signature on the painting. As others have stated, there is almost no shutter lag at all--even with a standard 512mb Compact Flash card to record the images. The menus are very easy to understand, and the features are easy to choose and set. The Black and White capabilities are awesome! The ability create and set custom parameters is wonderful.
The camera accepts my lenses from the Rebel 2000; however, it does not particularly like my Quantaray 70-300mm zoom lens. Sometimes it works, and sometimes I get an error code 99. It prefers original Canon lenses. (Just means I have a new item for my Christmas wish list.)
I am a short person and have no issue with the size of the camera at all. (Some have stated that it is too small.) This is perfect for me and the feel of the camera in my hand is quite "hefty."
I recommend a screen cover for the LCD because it is smudged by the nose while taking pictures. I plan to get one right away.
This is a great camera for those wanting to switch to a digital SLR, but do not have the extra $$$$$ for the Canon 20D or some of the other choices out there. It has all of the features you could want as an advanced beginner for setting the creative zones for personalized photography. I think it will even work for the novice who just wants to use it in the automatic zone, too!! Awww, why not say it---even some "pros" will probably find this one great addition to their camera collection.
This may just be the camera you have always dreamed of having--it is for me!!
