Digital camera Review: Creative freedom, beautiful pics
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have had digital PS cameras, you know they take good pics of average scenes, but sometimes they try to be too smart and get in the way of what you really want to achieve. If you are familiar with 35mm SLRs, you really miss the ability to control things.
The new generation of DSLRs are now as good as 35mm for enlargements, and modern storage media (flash cards and hard disks) allow for storage of a lot of images even at maximum size and quality. The Canon is the best value of a very good set of contenders from Nikon and Sony. The sensor in the camera is 24 mm (larger is better -- we will soon see a 35 mm sensor). This camera can use legacy Canon lenses as well as the new EFS (short focus in the back specifically for digital EOS). Because the sensor is not 35mm, you have to multiply lens length by a conversion factor, in this case 1.6, to get 35 mm equivalent (example: a 50mm lens will give the same result as an 80mm on a 35 SLR).
The kit lens is ok but not great. I got a Tamron 28-75 f2.8 which is my primary lens. I may splurge and get one of the Canon "L" series lenses in the near future.
The camera is compatible with iPhoto on the Mac (I have yet to encounter one that is not), and comes with its own image browser and photo editing software. On the Mac, I am using the Canon image browser and iPhoto for picture management, but still prefer Photoshop elements when I need more image manipulation. iPhoto albums are effectively folders that can be loaded into the navigation window of Image Browser.
July update: I have just gone over 4000 shots, flawless performance.
Digital camera Review: DUST DUST DUST
Summary: 1 Stars
Although I love many things about this camera, I must share one major concern with anyone thinking about purchasing this camera: Dust. I bouhgt my camera kit 3 months ago, with a wonderful 50mm 1.8 lens. From switching back and forth between lenses, dust has landed on the COMS sensor, and the sonic dust removal system does nothing to remove it. It is noticeable in the pictures and the included software doesn't remove it at all. Had I know the camera needs to be sent away and cleaned professionally (at my cost) every 3 months, I think I would have rethought this purchase. I've owned many 35mm film camera over the years, and I have become good at cleaning them, but this sensor is just too delicate and the consequences of a mistake too great for me to own a camera like this. It looks like my window to return it to Amazon has expired too, so I think I might be stuck with a really wonderful camera that is totally impractical to use.Digital camera Review: Digital Rebel XTi 10.1MP with EF 18-55

Recommended camera for those first time trying D-SLR
Digital camera Review: Does what it says
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first digital SLR. Turns on quickly, shoots multiple shots quickly. Various auto settings work well so I do not need to use the manual functions. Manual focus is a nice thing and easy to turn on or off with just one manual switch. For family use the 18-55mm Canon lens is all I need. Get a good/quick CF card. I like Canon cameras in general, this one continues that tradition. Good solid quality feel, buttons in good location. Fairly easy to learn how to use for anyone with some camera common sense.Digital camera Review: Excelente, estoy muy complacido con la compra
Summary: 4 Stars
El producto está excelente, solo me falta completarla con los accesorios necesarios, un lente de 300mm, un flash externo, un tripod, pero por lo demás estoy super contecto con mi SLR
