Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Digital Rebel XTi 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens (Black)Customer Review: Getting Back to Photography Summary: 5 Stars
The new Canon Digital Rebel XTi I just purchased has been great. I have owned a Canon camera for close to 30 years, but discontinued most of my photography as a hobby due to the price of film and developing. This new camera has enabled me to get back into a hobby I enjoy with some wonderful benefits that only a digital camera can bring. It has taken me some time to remember the techniques I learned years ago and apply them to this new type of photography. Being able to take endless shots of a subject has distinct advantages, as does being able to see the results instantly. The speed of the camera is fantastic. There was no way a power winder on my old film Canon could take shots the way this Rebel does. It brings about a whole new meaning to photography. Rob McIntosh
Customer Review: Great Intro for Digital SLR's. Summary: 5 Stars
I am a hobby photographer. I always shot 35mm SLR and was never comfortable with point and shoot cameras. When I could afford a DSLR this was my choice. I compared the Canon and Nikon cameras and almost purchased the Nikon. What I liked about this camera was the feel in my hand. I also liked the accessories available compared to the Nikon. I also liked the controls and menus were easier to navigate than the Nikon. In the end I found this to be the best investment for the long term. I can upgrade in the future to a better body with a full frame censor. I receive raves from everyone. I love to shot my nephews playing sports, and what amazing pictures I get with this camera. It is a great choice for someone looking to purchase their first digital SLR.
Customer Review: Excellent Camera Body, Decent Lens Summary: 5 Stars
The camera body itself is pretty much perfect for the price. I think the big contest in any of these reviews is the included kit lens, which is pretty okay. It's not a L series by any stretch of the imagination, but if you're comparing it to those lenses, may I also suggest a higher-end camera -- this camera kit is meant for beginner forays into dSLR, and you always have to option to just buy the body...
My recommendation is for anyone who is just starting off with dSLRs, this is a great kit to grow from and the lens (while not perfect) will give you a fairly decent normal to light telephoto range. If you've used Canon EF or EF-S lenses and own some already, I would recommend going body-only unless you need this specific range.
Customer Review: Nice Digital Camera to upgrade over point and shoot Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first adventure in the field of SLR photography. This camera offers an unbeatable combination of performance, ease-of-use and value. It provides 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor plus a host of new features including an easy to view 2.5-inch LCD monitor. It is extremely light weight and has an ergonomic body.
The EOS has a very high-precision 9-point AF system for speedy, (close to 2 frames per second) and accurate focusing in any situation. Great for sport events.
The only down side is that the battery is somewhat smaller than its rival's, and can drain faster due to the large 2.5 inch LCD monitor being on all of the time and the lens in the kit are okay, though I think it is a step below the camera.
Customer Review: Great upgrade Summary: 5 Stars
I'm upgrading to this camera from a Fuji Finepix S9100. The Fuji is a very good camera but I started being more demanding so I got the Canon Rebel XTi.
I also added two more lenses to my purchase: EF 75-300 Telephoto and EF 50mm F/1.8. They are spectacular and work really good with my Rebel.
The quality of the photographs I'm taking now is amazing. If you want to use a good camera but mostly on Full Auto mode, then this camera is not for you. This Canon lets you use all of its potential so you can take the most out of your photography skills. It's really an excellent camera. I'll keep it until gets worn out.
For advanced users, I strongly recommend the EF 50mm f/1.8 lens. Is another world before you.
