Customer Review: Great camera -- packed with features!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera after many months of saving up and researching digital SLRs... and I couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase! I'm a professional by no means, but I really love how much functionality is packed into this little guy. The giant LCD display on the back is just awesome--combine that with the 10 MP and it makes this camera a much better purchase than one of the larger, more expensive Canon DSLRs.
Also, I was a little nervous before I bought the camera because I read a lot of reviews that talked about the size of the camera being hard to handle. Well, my hands are HUGE (I can palm a basketball) and I have had no problems at all, and I love the fact that it is relatively smaller and easier to carry around than the larger counterparts.
Finally, if you are just starting out, then you will be plenty satisfied with the kit lens, which provides some decent range and a nice wide-angle end. If you are waiting to buy the camera because you are trying to save up for the perfect lens, don't! Buy the kit today and then save up and add to your lens collection down the road--you won't be disappointed!
Customer Review: Canon Rebel XTi
Summary: 5 Stars
At the time I purchased this camera the thinking was to have a nice entry level DSLR for vactions and family, just to see if this is the route I would go, after all the (PAS) point and shoot of today are very, very good and cheaper by the day! The first images with a "kit" lens, and I was let down by what I shot, not much better then PAS, you can make adjustments in PS3 and it is much improved, until one day I picked up a 70-200 2.8 L series lens for sports and I must say it had a instant "WOW effect! the images I captured were TACK SHARP! magizine quailty without touch up in PS! it began a whole new era in photograpy for me, from that experience I went and purchased the 17-40 L and once again "WOW" untouched images ready for SI, Now let it be known that the Rebel has been nick named by so-called photo snobs as the "Soccer Mom Camera" but no issue on my end, my images are much sharper! Since my Rebel the photo fever has taken off I now have two other higher end DSLR's on of them being a Nikon, for sports these shoot 6 FPS double the Rebel (and double the price) and still the Rebel images are right there with the pro end cameras.Customer Review: I am amazed
Summary: 5 Stars
I have only owned the XTi for a few days now, and wow! I love this camera so much. Now, let me give you a little background on myself. I am not a photographer, nor do I aspire to be. I just got tired of bad photos coming from my point-and-shoot camera. My best friend IS a professional photographer, with museum quality photos. He uses a Rebel XT for the moment. (He's waiting for the price to come down on the 1D Mk3) Anyways, the quality of the photos I take now is great. After a few lessons in what an f-stop is and exposure and shutter speeds I have the basics down. I also am pretty good at editing in Adobe CS. (HIGHLY recommended for editing, even for amateurs.) I only shoot in RAW format so as to achieve the best quality.
For anyone out there who is looking for a replacement for their point and shoot, and wants something upgradeable (ie lenses) this is the best buy out there right now. With the introduction of the XSi the price has come down a bit.
Like I said, I'm not a photographer, just someone that wants to take good photos. And I give this a very solid 5 stars!!!
Customer Review: Great entry-level DSLR
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this camera for a little over a month, and I've only had time to take a hundred pictures or so, but I really love this camera. But buyers should be aware that this is an entry-level DSLR. There are only a few things nagging me, but I should share them with you. First, only in certain modes can the flash be forced "off" -- otherwise, it pops up if the object of focus is dark and the background is a bit brighter... Sometimes, it was just annoying, particularly on a bright sunny day when taking pictures in the shade when I think I would have preferred it to stay closed, and it kept popping up. Secondly, the kit lens. Well, it's a kit lens, and while it's okay for a beginning lens, it's not very good, especially if you want to take a wider variety of pictures (low-light, shallower depth of field), and its picture at lower f-stops is soft, to be kind (I found the pictures at higher F-stops to be decent, however, not great).
Those are the main things I've noticed and been bothered by, but otherwise, the camera is fantastic, and an incredible jump up from most point-and-shoot cameras.
Customer Review: Best Entry Level Digital SLR Keeps Getting Better
Summary: 5 Stars
The third generation XTi is the successor to the popular Rebel XT. An entry level camera but considered to be quite an excellent performer in many levels.
It comes with a battery and a sleek compact charger. It also uses the well known Digic II image processor. Uses CF card.
Improvements compared to its older brother XT:
- 10 megapixel resolution compared to 8 megapixel for the XT
- A larger 2 1/2 inch LCD panel compared to 1.8 inch
- A new self-cleaning sensor
- 9 point AF system while the XT has 7
- Better burst shooting capacity from 23 to 27 frames
- 7 LCD brightness levels compared to 5 for better viewing in bright surroundings
Pros:
- Image quality is superb. Color rendition and low-noise
- Light and small
- Can shoot RAW format
- 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
