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: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
What an amazing small compact SLR camera! I was originally thinking of purchased the 20D but I found it a bit too big for my taste. The Digital Rebel XT is small and compact and perfect for my wife and I. Although small, the battery can easily shoot 230 shots in a single charge (20% using flash).
I highly recommend this camera it's perfect for amateur/professional photographers. This is an excellent upgrade from my previous Canon G2. If you are new to photography I would recommend the G6 before this camera. But the best next step would be this one.
Also, with the $700 dollars that I saved getting this instead of the 20D, I purchased a new Tamron SP AF28-75/2.8 XR Di LD Lens. What an AMAZING lens! i would highly recommend this lens. There is no other lens equivalent to this lens for the money. An equivalent Canon L series lens would cost nearly $1200.
Hope that this help!
Digital camera Review: Bargain digital SLR
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic photos, the color quality and automatic light adjustmnet (the camera's best features) gives superb pictures, more true to life than any other "regular" pocket digital camera. 8 megapixels actually looks better than 10 megapixels - something to do with just the right amount of detail for the human eye compared to too much "microscopic" detail. Versatile for other types of photography too - we use it for medical documentation photos - can be adjusted like any true SLR to capture close-ups with macro lens & flash. Compatible with medical software. 2 GB CF card more than adequate for literally hundreds of photos. Smaller than equivalent Nikon and more compact, and personally, I think a little bit faster too between shots.Digital camera Review: Benefits of an SLR
Summary: 5 Stars
It is so nice to have an SLR camera again. It took about 5 seconds to get used to looking thru the view finder and off we go. We just received prints from Costco of our first pictures. What I can say is money well spent on the camera.Digital camera Review: Best Choice Starter DSLR
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera for a college level mass communications photography class-it fits the needs very well, and people that rent the school's cameras are pretty jealous that I have a "big fancy camera". I've made some really cool photographs so far, especially after learning the advanced settings (which really aren't that hard, especially if you practice). I've only used point and shoot cameras, and this camera is a great way to get into "actual" photography-where you actually have to do something to make the pictures turn out well, as opposed to just taking pictures and accepting the mediocre images. The lenses available are awesome, and some aren't too outrageously priced. I'd suggest the Canon 50mm f/1.8 of f/1.4, because with the kit lens you really won't be able to do much indoors. The kit lens isn't the best, but is leaps and bounds better than even the best point-and-shoot (I have a Canon SD1000, and from what I've used/seen friends use/read about, I don't know how much better point-and-shoot cameras get).Digital camera Review: Best Digital Camera for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
Read every review I could find while searching for a new DSLR. Decided the Canon Rebel XT was the best for the money. It has all the important features a serious amateur would want and then some. Well, I received the camera over a week ago and I can't believe how good this camera is. Been a long time 35mm SLR user and a Digicam user since 2001. This camera is the closest to film you will get for the price and with all the advantages digital has to offer (technically speaking, a DSLR would have to be 12 megapixels to exactly match 35mm film quality). My only reservation is it's small size but that is a very minor complaint. A friend of mine has a Canon 20D and it is a better camera, but only slightly and costs $500.00 more. Save your money or spend it on a better lens, I bought the Canon EFS 17-85mm and it performs beautifully. By the way, don't believe all the critics that say megapixels aren't important and 6 megapixels are enough - that is not true. Even though most people are not printing large 8X10 or larger prints, many photos are indeed cropped and the more megapixel per photo there is the sharper the photo will remain. This is one area Canon seems to beat all of its competitors in this price range.
