Customer Review: Awesome Camera for an entry-level
Summary: 5 Stars
I spent weeks reading through both user and professional reviews and comparing it against similar 10 megapixel cameras, super zoom cameras and even 12 megapixel cameras and this one beat them all out hands down. Yes even the XSi of the same brand
Not only is the price right but this an ideal camera for those just starting out in the DSLR world like me. The controls and menus are simple enough that you can start taking pictures just about out of the box. If you are feeling adventurous and want to get into the creative side of the dial those aren't all that hard to get a hang of either. Still this isn't the best part.
The best part in my opinion is the spectacular image quality that comes out of an entry level DSLR. Even when you have to turn the ISO up the image doesn't have much noise.
Sure it only has a 2.5 inch screen, a 7 point AF system and doesn't shoot that fast in raw but at least in my opinion those downsides are negligible.
Customer Review: Excellent choice for PS to DSLR converts
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had my Rebel 1000D XS for a few months now and have fallen in love with it. I have been a great photo enthusiast for a long time now (20yrs.) and felt it time to take it serious. I'm sure that I will be upgrading in the near future but not because this camera cannot do the job. It has a great list of features and I have had no problems with it at all. I purchased it new and shortly afterwards have purchased a 55-250 IS lens for it and now my field of use has widened. There is a few things that I'm sure could have been different on this model such as more AF points and the rubberized coating but for the price it's a great bargain. I have since my purchase become a semi-pro photographer working for a friend and her company photographing daycare's and some other get togethers. I work part-time now for her and I simply love the fact that it has turned into something that I love and can make money at. It don't get any better than that. sidCustomer Review: I am so glad I chose this entry level DSLR
Summary: 5 Stars
For months I researched entry level DSLRs between 500-650$, and I decided on the rebel XS. I am very glad I did and I absolutely love this camera. All of the good things you have read about this camera are true. The only negative things I can say is that the lens that comes with the kit is mediocre, I would have really liked at least 9 focus points, and I would have really enjoyed some in camera editing features like the entry level Nikon's offer. The picture quality is phenomenal. I played around with my picture quality settings; I added a little more saturation and sharpness. This camera was really easy to learn. I was brand new to the world of DSLRs and now I'm speedy-mcgee and shooting in manual mode (mostly aperture priority mode). I recommend learning about shutter speed, aperture and ISO when you make the switch from point and shoots. Everything good about this camera has already been praised so I will leave it at that!Customer Review: Great SLR camera for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera has all the bells and whistles for a DSLR beginner. I am extremely happy with it. If you are looking for the best value for entry level DSLR, then this is not the best value. Nikon and Olympus have better deals. But I want to have the huge selections of lens. Besides, I am pretty comfortable with the controls of my two Canon point-and-shoot cameras. The only complaint I have is the layout of the auto focus points. It has seven. Five of them are on the middle horizontal line. The sixth one is right above the center, and the seventh one below the center. If you want to focus roughly around the centers of four quadrants, then you have to move your camera to compose your picture after you focus using one of the focus points. This is quite inconvenient and causes incorrect focusing if the subject is close to you. XSi has nine auto focus points nicely laid out. But it costs you about two hundred dollars more.Customer Review: Canon Rebel XS
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this camera! I am used to a film SLR, and a small point and shoot digital, but with how slow the point and shoot is, and not being able to see my shots right away with film, I just had to upgrade to a digital SLR! I did a good bit of research and was deciding between the XS and XSi. I have always been a Canon person, so that part was easy. We were looking for an econoical choice, and though there are some features on the XSi that are a bit better - the main differences appear to be the XS has a slightly smaller screen and slightly slower fps and only a bit less on the megapixels. To me, it was negligible and the cost was a few hundred dollars less. We have been getting beautiful pictures and have been having lots of fun with it. And with the fast shutter speed and quick ability to review shots, we haven't missed out on getting the shots like we used to on our point and shoot. I highly recommend this camera!!
