Customer Review: Great Camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first adventure in the field of SLR photography. I have purchased digital point and shoot cameras before but, there is none I have used that even come close to the quality pictures I can take with the XTi. I have had this a month and have taken over 1000 pictures. Most just playing around with all the different functions there are to play with. I even took around 400 pictures a few weeks ago on a trip to Walt Disney World. I still used Disney's Photopass and had the pros take our pictures. I even gave them my camera and they took our picture with that and ours came out just as good as the pictures they took. I just left the camera on auto and portrate for most of the shots and they came out great.
I have had so much fun with this camera. I even borrowed a 75-300mm lens to see how that did, and for long shots this was great I used it mainly with a tripod. The kit lens was better for taking closer pictures. I really am glad I bought this lens as a kit instead of just purchasing the body and the 75-300mm lens which was recommended to me. I can't wait to get more toys for this camera...watch out one you try it you will get hooked! I did!!!

I need to start off by saying that I am new to Digital SLR cameras and lenses, and am by no means an expert. I am comparing this camera to the numerous point and shoot digital cameras I've had in the past three years in my search for a "good camera". The difference in quality between this camera and all of the rest of the cameras I have used is noticeable immediately, both in ease of use, and in end results. It is a pleasure to work with this camera, the menus are well laid out and everything seems well placed. It can be a point and shoot replacement (using one of many automatic presets) or you can do some pretty advanced setups (using manual settings). The images that I am getting out of this camera seem very professional, with very little effort on my part. And with a quick touch up in Adobe Lightroom, I'm turning out very good quality pictures (in my beginner opinion) with very little work required. All in all, a great camera for a beginner like myself. I'd also recommend getting a decent lens (the kit lens is only okay), a lens filter, a tripod, and an image editing program like Adobe Lightroom.Customer Review: Best All Around Digital Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I did my homework, here it is. After comparing the Rebel XTI with the Powershot G7 I decided to buy the Rebel XTI becuase I wanted a camera, which had great reviews in terms of battery life, compactness, picture quality and durability.
All in All the Rebel XTI is the best digital camera i've ever owned. It has all the above qualities to suit my novice camera needs, offering a professional image, except I will purchase the new Sigma 28mm-200mm lens featuring the optical stabilizer becuase its an all around lens--for close up shots and those farther away. At $899. for the camera and $550 for the Sigma lens this is not a poor man's camera. I saved for it. I figured the amount of money i'll save in film will pay for itself.
Additionally, the G7 is not so bad. In comparance with the Rebel XTI (both Canon digital cameras) at $450 it features good battery life, a lens comparable with the 28mm-200mm all around lens, and a built in stabilizer. Its bulkier than the average digital camera but it picture quality parallels the Rebel XTI.

What a difference. I haven't had much time to learn the ins and outs of it but its easy to pick up and use, even if you've never touched it before. I have an older Sigma telephoto/super macro that throws an error code when used outside with this camera. Canon customer support is awesome though and directed me on how to remedy the problem. They are courteous and professional. The customer service alone is enough to keep me with Canon. The flash mechanism rattles a little bit and makes you think somethings broken when you pull it out of the box but if you read the manual you'll find thats normal. LCD screen is awesome. Functions are pretty easy to navigate, especially if you have experience with any of Canon's PowerShots. Looking forward to many years with this camera and the shots it will capture.Customer Review: Learning to Use The XTi
Summary: 5 Stars
There are more then enough comments on how great this camera is. My comment is to strongly suggest that any user buy the "Magic Lantern DVD guide" for the Canon Rebel XTi. Yeh, there's a canon book. Yes, there are books published on how to use. This hands on DVD takes you through every basic, and some advanced steps, and actually shows you "how To." DVD: Magic Lantern DVD Guide for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / EOS 400D SLR Cameras. The author uses nothing but clear, easy to understand, language. The only thing he assumes you understand are f-stops and shutter speeds.
It's like being taught One-on-One with a knowledgable instructor. Best $20 I've spent. And, that included shipping.
