Excellent Camera with a Tough, Durable Body A few reviewers have purchased the Canon 20D rather than the Rebel XT (350D), because the Canon 20D's body is covered with a magnesium alloy and the Rebel XT's body is mainly plastic. However, one should not discount the Rebel's plastic body. It's made of polycarbonate. I did a little research on this material and found that it is virtually unbreakable and in laminated form is used to make "bullet-resistant glass." Of course, no matter how tough the body is, something else will break, such as th...

A Year Review Well, it has been a year since I recieved my Rebel XT and I am more than pleased with the camera. The build quality, features, and photo quality have made this camera a joy to own and use.
When I first decided to move from film to digital, I began the long and tedious process of researching all the cameras on the market at the time. I had previously owned many Canon film cameras and compact digital cameras, so they were of course my first choice. I looked at Nikon, Olympus, Canon, a...

Outstanding purchase. We purchased this camera about 2 months ago and have been nothing but pleased with its performance thus far. What you have in this Canon Rebel XT is all of the function, expandability, and speed of your standard SLR teamed with the convenience and flexibility of digital photography with Canon Quality. I don't think you can beat the quality to price ratio on this Camera - it's the sort of investment that we won't be kicking ourselves for 3 years down the road.
The Pros:

Great Camera I have had digital cameras for about 5 years and still own an Olympus 5 megapixel, and a Casio 7 megapixel. Seems like Megamixels alone just don't cut it for me.
I read about the rebel XT in a magazine and looked up the user reviews here on Amazon.
I decided to go and buy one and though I am really a novice, I am extremely impressed. I have never seen such stunning quality or realistic colors from a Point & Shoot. I started with the basic settings and love the results.I am slowly pro...

Just Works I'd gotten away from SLRs in favor of small pocket sized digitals, but decided I wanted higher quality for blowups for my trip to Ireland. After much online research and several sessions flipping a quarter, I ordered the Canon EOS 8MP digital Rebel from Amazon.
Although lugging it around Ireland for 2 weeks was something of a challenge, it exceeded my expectations from a photographic standpoint. The photos are perfect, 8X11 enlargements are crisp and detailed, the colors are true... I ...

I really love this camera I've always been a fan of digital. I like the idea of previewing my photos before paying for the processing. I'm also a fan of Canon. I started with their powershot series digitals and then wanted something where I could play with lenses. I bought the first 6mp digital rebel and loved that one. Took crisp, quick photos. The only downside to that camera was it was quite heavy and it was silver (my lenses were all black).
So when the XT came out I was excited. Initially I was ...

Great quality photos The camera comes with a comprehensive and easy-to-follow instruction manual for people (like me) who don't have too much experience with a Canon SLR. It comes with its own battery charger, so there's no need to buy another one unless you want to keep a spare someplace.
The camera was a little heavier than I anticipated since I was used to the weight of the 35mm Rebel. From other reviews, I thought the camera would be quite small, however it's a pretty good size. I do agree with others tha...

Professional quality photos at a compact camera price I was struggling with the decision to buy the Canon S3 vs. the Rebel XT for several weeks. I ended up returning the S3 to buy the Rebel XT and I'm very happy with it. Many people compare the S3 with this SLR model, but the optical quality is a world apart. Because of physics, you simply cannot get the same quality with the S3 zoom lens that covers the entire range. The Rebel XT snaps the pictures almost immediately when you press the shutter button. The accessories on this camera, such as t...

Learn to photograph with the Canon 350D If you want to upgrade from your point and shoot cameras and at the same time learn to take real photographs, then get this camera. With prices around (...) it's a virtual no brainer for serious beginners. You will probably not notice the 2 MP difference between this camera and the XTI unless you are doing a lot of photo manipulation or printing very large prints. Plus shooting in RAW will help you from losing data while correcting photos.
The Censor cleaner on the XTI is just one more...

Rebel XT Just got my Rebel XT, and I can put into words how much fun it is to take pictures. I have used film SLRs for over 20 years. Then a couple of years ago I bought a Nikon point and shoot. But I still preferred my film slr, except for that fact that I had to buy film, take the pictures, then wait for the results. I used the point and shoot more and more, for the instant results. But my wife and I got frustrated with the lag time, and the fact that most of the pictures with the point and shoot ...
