Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent camera. I own and have always enjoyed my Canon AE-1. This digital Canon XTi is just as impressive, versatile, and easy to use as any SLR I've ever seen.Digital camera Review: Canon XTi--tougher than it looks
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm sure many readers will have seen any number of reviews that cover the Canon XTi (400 in Europe) extensively. I bought mine purely as a way to take pictures while on vacation and not risk my higher end Canon bodies and lenses. My thinking was that if an accident happened or someone stole my camera, I would not lose as much in value.
The lifespan of the shutter is problematic and I've probably shot a fifth of the number of shutter releases the camera is expected to have in the last four months. And, so far, no camera snatchers have made a go at it. I got the silver body just to make it look less professional.
The big surprise for me is the camera's toughness. In my travels I have taken one hard spill where the camera went flying and, at another time, I accidently whipped the camera off my shoulder and sent it spinning away. Both times the camera hit the concrete hard.
Each time, after picking up the camera with some worry that it had met its demise, I found that it worked the same as before.
Now I should add that I had a Kirk Enterprises base plate mounted on the bottom of the camera and it shows the only scrapes that I can find, so it must have been the point of initial impact both times. That does not change the fact that the entire camera took hard shocks each time. No lens damage either with the 17-85mm IS lens.
For those of you who may think of the Canon amateur SLR as too plastic or too fragile--think again. Personally, I wonder how many frames I can shoot past the 50,000 mark before the shutter actually dies.

Camera is easy to use, but offers many advanced features. One thing missing is shooting the picture via lcd screen, must use wiew finder.Digital camera Review: Cool Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
For the money I don't know if you will find a better camera. I like the Nikons too, but for 600 bucks a 10 megapixel dslr is a very good deal. Only thing: I don't like the stock lens. Getting a fixed lens is better.
