Digital camera reviews of Canon EOS Rebel K2 SLR 35mm Film Camera with EF 28-90mm III USM Lens

Digital camera Review: Cheaply Made. Huge Disappointment.
Summary: 1 Stars

This camera is cheap. It even feels cheap. The first time we loaded film, it jammed and has never worked since. I have for years bought only Canon products which is why I purchased this replacement for an older Canon Rebel (which I loved) that had dropped and broke. Now I'm so turned off by this poorly manufactured Canon product that I'm looking to replace all of my lenses so that I can find a system that's better made.

Digital camera Review: Cool Camera
Summary: 5 Stars

The photos are exceptional. It was very easy to learn how to use the features. I have taken some great photos with it, much better than my digital. I have not encountered any problems. I took it on a long (over a month) trip where it was subjected to rough treatment and extreme weather. It came through with flying colors. Rock solid.

Digital camera Review: Film camera
Summary: 5 Stars

Im not a professional photographer, but I love taking pictures. I own both EOS Rebel k2 slr and an EOS rebel XS DSLR.
Digital slr's are fantastic you get a lot width all of the different settings.
The advantage I find width a film slr, is in black and white pictures, they have a depht to them that I like, theirs just something about BW film. So I would recommend this camera if you want to learn photography.

Digital camera Review: Good entry-level camera
Summary: 4 Stars

I recently purchased this camera when my venerable Nikormat EL-W developed shutter timing issues during my Photo 1 class.

This camera reasonably priced has preformed flawlessly thus far. I have shot multiple rolls of Ilford HP5 plus film through this camera and have yet to have an exposure not come out due to the camera. After reading the manual I was able to easily understand the different modes and how to change the user controlled settings. The on camera flash leaves a little to be desired as it rather harsh and its range is somewhat limited, an accessory flash will overcome this and there are other flashes that will operate with this camera not just Canon.

I have not had the opportunity of shooting color film through this camera yet when I do I will update this review.

The only thing I dislike about this camera is that there is no provision for a remote shutter release. The Rebel K2 with date is the only version of this camera that can use a remote shutter release, why Canon removed this feature from this model is unknown a remote release is very handy when photographing nature or when used with the timer for self portraits.

If you have any plans for infrared photography do not buy a EOS Canon, the Frame counter uses an infrared sensor that will cause fogging on your infrared film

Digital camera Review: Great Camera for Students
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this camera for a photography class that I took over the summer at my university. While many of the Students bought traditional student models, like the Pentax k1000, I wanted to buy a more updated model. The Canon Rebel EOS K2 went above and beyond by expectations; it was easy to use, had multiple useful features, and produced amazing photographs. The best part about this camera is that a user can not only set an aperture/shutter speed, but select a mode where the camera itself will automatically select the appropriate details - the feature is very useful. Also, the camera has specific automatic modes that are designed for shooting close-ups, landscapes, moving objects, and low-lite subjects, which is very useful for novice-photographers. I was planning on selling it to some friends after I finished the class, but am now considering keeping it for taking more photos for fun.
