The good: The Canon Digital Rebel XT's image quality leads its class; competitive price; ultrafast start-up time; very responsive.
The bad: The Canon Rebel XT's lightweight plastic body isn't ergonomically satisfying; no spot meter; limited continuous-shooting mode, unimpressive kit lens; 1.6X lens-conversion factor.
The bottom line: The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT is an exceptionally small and lightweight camera designed for amateur digital SLR photographers, but it delivers the responsiveness and image quality you'd expect from a semipro model.

Summary: I just got it special order and WOW. Please trust me it is perfect in every way but one. It occaisionally doesnt properly auto-focus. However this may later be resolved, it may be due to my error, and besides, auto focus is for lame people! I much prefer manual focus. Anyways, get this camera, take it from a pro, its really the best.

good but not good enough
by banana guy on October 10, 2005
Pros: blazing fast, small
Cons: image quality isn't good as you think, somewhat machine like camera

Summary: Got this as a gift and I liked the speed alot. But when I zoomed in a pic on my PC, the quality wasn't good. It looks like a 3 megapixel pic instead of a 8. I returned this and got the Evolt and was happy. The evolt had the best images i seen and it had a simpler menu and was dust-free. If you want the best speed possible, The XT is the best one out there, but for good images, you just can't beet the Evolt.
(I reserched a lot of cameras by the way)-Canon rebel, XT, Pentax *ist Ds, Nikon D50, D70s, Minolta's 7D, EOS 20D, and on and on and on...4 out of 5 users found this user opinion helpful.

I returned it
by jplattet on August 18, 2006
Pros: No shutter lag, intuitive controls.
Cons: Poor photo quality, poor auto focus, manual focus prro, too.

Summary: Yes, I know someone's probably going to say that's the function of the lens(es) and all that, and that's true to a degree, but when the photos are no better than a 2 year old Kodak DX7590 something's wrong with this picture (pun intended).
It's just not worth the money. A person's beter off to spend, say, $400-$500 and just get one of the better standard models, or maybe spend $2 Grand and get a real professional camera.
It was a bad choice on my part, but you know what they say, "stuff" happens....1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Worth Every Dollar
by zippo on August 15, 2005
Pros: Easy manipulation of controls.
Cons: None encountered yet. Well extra lenses are pricy.

Summary: Super easy to adjust from regular 35mm SLR. I expirimented with friends Nikon, Minoltas' 6-8meg cameras which were less than a year old, and tried the Rebel XT last. The best was last. Ease of operation is top notch. Anyone with just a little camera knowledge can adapt to the choices. Do yourself a favor and purchase lens filters, the bottom hand grip, and wireless remote. Basic extras you will appreciate. Oh yeh, get the hand strap and a 2G card. Click away!

Quick startup time, fairly good shots at the highest ISO, Kit lens leaves something to be desired
by radhakrishna.commerce on June 23, 2008
Pros: Image quality is good, Good camera for its price.
Cons: No image stabilization on the kit lens.
Summary: This camera is great for beginners like myself. I get fairly good photos at higher ISO.
As a beginner I would have liked it better if the kit came with ...Summary: This camera is great for beginners like myself. I get fairly good photos at higher ISO.
As a beginner I would have liked it better if the kit came with a booklet that teaches SLR photography, since this is a camera so suitable for SLR. The manual assumes that you are a pro.
When you want to get night shots, I recommed the use of a tripod. The kit lens does not have any image stabilization at all. The slightest shake tends to blur images.
The shots come out excellent.
The LCD is small, but I don't mind since all I do with the display is view image information and check settings.
Overall a good camera. -

by smackey17 on March 22, 2007
Pros: great optics and easy to use
Cons: need to go to the user manual for some functions

Summary: I've been a lifelong Canon user, beginning with an AE-1 back in the 1970s. I've always been impressed with their quality and service. The Digital Rebel continues my satisfaction with this brand. I'm not a pro or even semi-pro photographer, but even in just the point-and-shoot mode I'm able to take excellent photos.

Great Camera
by jwellman on February 25, 2007
Pros: Lightweight, easy to use, great results
Cons: noisy in low light, Locks up sometimes

Summary: Great camera for semi and professional photographer. You can use it for hours without your hand and arm tiring. When coupled with other products, multiple flash, printers, etc., you have a great camera at a very good price.
While the camera has a few 'bugs' to it, I have found several ways to overcome them. The noise is easily removed with software. Making final prints are only as good as the photographer, their knowledge of editing software, and the final printing process.
I'll gladly put any of my final prints up against yours to show you it isn't just the camera, it is the entire process from click to pick to make the photograph snap. -
Solid Camera, Good Performer
by BigWorm2005GT on December 27, 2006
Pros: Easy to use, takes great pictures, two years and still going strong
Cons: Pop-up flash starting to malfunction
Summary: This camera has been performing extremely well for almost 2 years now! I've taken thousands of photos, and not one failure in the shutter or focusing mechanism.
However, the ...Summary: This camera has been performing extremely well for almost 2 years now! I've taken thousands of photos, and not one failure in the shutter or focusing mechanism.
However, the pop-up flash is starting to not... well, pop-up. I think some sand got in the mechanism in a recent trip. the wind was whipping up pretty hard, and some sand was blowing around. It will still pop-up, you just have to "help" it by pulling on it a little while it's trying to release.
Other than that, this camera is a flawless performer. No other malfunctions. I would have no problems recommending this camera to anyone.
Highly recommended! -
