What our customer's say!

"Perfect Tool for a Professional Beginner", I love the Canon Rebel XT. I use it for work, where I manage communications for a high school. Despite that I have no real camera or photography training, I find the XT comfortable and easy to use. Although the school supplied me with this camera, when I next need to buy one for personal use, there is a good chance this will be my choice.

I'm the chief paparazzo, taking candid pictures of students, teachers and events. We have pro photographers for major things, and they use higher level equipment, but for quick, on-the-spot shots, I grab the XT and am out the door.

Images are clear every time, thanks to the camera accurately predicting what I am interested in. There is an auto/general pictures options, as well as context-specific options (distance, action, close-ups and others). The flash is perfectly timed and is at the correct level for whatever amount of light I need.

The download software is quick, and interfaces with Windows with no conflicts.

All images download as jpegs, so there are no conversion issues. I open them in Adobe Photoshop, and take it from there.

It is small enough to carry discretely, but big enough to get the job done.

I fully recommend the Canon Rebel XT.

"Awesome first ", If you're looking into photography seriously but have no idea this is a perfect place to start. Canons are really user friendly and take amazing photos. Once you get the hang of it you can switch up the lenses and learn more. Canon's are the best!

"Excellent camera still worth seeking", This camera was my first DSLR and it turned into my springboard into photography as a near addiction. Though Canon has rapidly expanded its entry-level EOS line, this is still a great camera to seek out as its price is falling pretty rapidly.

The obvious downside to buying this camera is that its screen is much smaller than just about any LCD screen currently on the market. Its a good screen, though, and be sure to check your histograms regardless of camera.

8MP is a fine pixel count, there is more to a good picture than the the number of pixels on the sensor, and if you shoot in raw you will be able to get decent sized prints, if you print at all (I rarely do). Even the "large JPEG" mode is great for smaller prints like 4x6/5x7 prints.

What this camera's low price allows you to do is spend more money to get the good lenses and other equipment that you will use well beyond the life of one camera (hopefully). Yes, the APS-C sized sensor creates that 'crop factor' but it is workable and there is a wide range of compatible lenses designed for Canon's EOS line. In addition, I would recommend picking up the 430EX flash, as your indoor photography will greatly improve with something better than the pop-up flash.

I have been very satisfied with the results and it is a great way to get started in DSLR photography, which is a different experience from point and shoot cameras. If you are unsure about what your shooting demands are, or whether you even want to pursue photography more as a hobby, the Rebel XT is great camera.

"The Perfect Entry Level Digital SLR", Been using this as my primary still camera for the last 2 years. At that time, it was the best selling entry level digital SLR camera. A sub-500$ with an 8 megapixel resolution. Uses CF card. It is an entry level camera but is considered quite an excellent performer in many levels.
It comes with a battery and a sleek compact charger. It uses the well known Digic II image processor. 7-point AF.


Pros:
- Very fast start-up time and shutter lag is almost negligeable
- Image quality is close to the more expensive EOS 20D. Color rendition and low-noise
- Lighter and smaller than its predecessor
- Can shoot RAW format
- Burst. 14 frames at 3 frames a second
- Impressive long battery life.

Cons:
- Cannot shoot using the LCD panel. You always have to use the viewfinder. LCD is for menu and playback only.
- Supplied lens is very basic. No image stabilizer. Slow.
- No movie capability

"Seller was very good ", Seller was very helpful and great to work with. Product was in the condition stated in description. No complaints

Read this reviews before You buy...

"My first DSLR. Love it!", Comfortable, lightweight, and easy to use; with a wealth of options available as I work my way up the SLR food chain. Great photo quality, my only complaint is that in low light without flash the EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 gets a lil' bleary. Still, I expect that the IS version of the lens when I get it will help alleviate that difficulty. Crystal clear pictures under normal lighting conditions and the automatic flash will take care of low-light conditions until I get the lens with image stabilization. Professional-looking photos (with my graphic designer background) right out of the box. Easy enough to use that I had no qualms in sending it with my mom to a wedding she was attending and she's STRICTLY point and shoot.

"Better than what I expect", It gives you enough as it shows. Sometime it has problem with focus if you use manual focusing, but I think it is caused by myself not the machine.

"Perfect . . . Almost.", I bought this camera nearly a year ago, and I've liked just about everything about this lens. Its size, its image quality, everything. In fact, for my money, it's superior to the XTi since its image quality is better in low light situations. As to why, well, with the XTi, you're fitting 10 megapixels on the same-sized image sensor as the XT, which will create a noisier (grainier) image. The XSi has some advanced hardware that counteracts this tendency.

Having said this, however, there is ONE item I wish the XT had--3200 ISO. In fact, neither the XT nor XTi nor XSi, have this high ISO (they all go up to 1600). I like to take pictures with natural light, and having a 3200 ISO will be helpful in extremely dark situations, like the wedding I just went to recently where the dance floor was essentially without light (and I was shooting with a f/1.8 lens). So, if you see yourself taking a lot of photos in low light, you might as well get the Canon 30D body for $650 (the price as of now--Sept 2008). One final item: I have NO idea why this camera as of Sept 1, 2008 costs $698 with the 18-55mm lens. I bought mine almost a year ago for $450 for the exact same combo! If the price doesn't go down, buy a Nikon D60 (cheaper) or Canon XSi (same price as the XT and way more advanced). Or, best yet, buy a Canon 30D and buy the lens separate. With a Canon 30D and a Canon 50mm f/1.8 or f/1.4 lens, you can essentially handle anything short of pitch-black scenes.

"Great camera for the price", I bought this camera couple months ago, got a great deal on Amazon.com at that time - camera, len included and 2GB memory card for under $450. After months of using it, I would say this is a great camera. I primary use it to capture my newborn daughter pictures and this camera does a great job, I catch lot of 'Canon' moments of my daughter, I love the speed of SLR camera.
One little complain is the attached flash pretty weak, but I still give it 5 stars because I know I can't ask for more at this price and an external flash is an easy solution. The included len is good but not great. It's not a big deal since I am expecting it.
If you come from point-and-shoot world, this camera definitely is a good start and Canon XT camera lessons on Canon website are very helpful.

"Decent camera for the price.", This was my first DSLR camera. It was great! However, I found myself outgrowing it rather quickly, and upgraded to the 40d.
