[...] I was able to begin taking pictures immediately with just a quick look at the users guide.Having other Canon cameras and an older Rebel, I found the controls extremely simple to use and second nature to an "old Canon user".I have not downloaded the photos yet,but I am certain there will be many keepers. There are many 'neat' features to explore as I take my new Rebel XTi with me all the time.

Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel XTi SLR 10.1MB Camera Body Kit, Chrome Finish with EFS 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens - U.S.A. Warranty:

I am a casual user and upgraded from a recently purchased Canon XT (8MP) since I wanted the improved resolution of the new Canon XTi. However, as good as the Canon XT was, the Canon XTi is better! The extra 2MP is not the real reason to upgrade - the improvements are numerous, and significant. Much improved user interface, simpler operation, automatic sensor cleaning, just plain simpler to use with the same awesome Canon image quality.

This is the finest DSLR you can buy for the money. Excellent value, excellent images, user interface that is simple, quality construction, adaptable to hundreds of lenses and accessories.

Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel XTi SLR 10.1MB Camera Body Kit, Chrome Finish with EFS 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens - U.S.A. Warranty:

First lets start by saying that I prefer quality over value, and yet the XTi has both. It might be a bit more than other cameras who might have enticing features like Shake Reduction and such but I wanted excellent quality in my pictures and the XTi was in my opinion the best around the $800 range. I wanted a fast camera and most are capable, however the AF on this thing is quick and precise. Since you are marrying to the lenses, I'm happy to report that Canon lenses do not disappoint. Overall, after trying several other cameras from Nikon, Olympus, Pentax (also Sony and Samsung), I went with the XTi. One small gripe is that people with big hands will ultimately hate the XTi's compact design, HOWEVER, this can be fixed by adding the optional battery grip which makes it a full grip camera instead of having the pinkie hanging or under the camera body like I do.

Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel XTi SLR 10.1MB Camera Body Kit, Chrome Finish with EFS 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens - U.S.A. Warranty:

I bought XTi after much contemplating between the XT and XTi. I am very happy with the choice. The camera is easy to use out of the box, although my goal is to learn how to really use it. Being a woman, I have found that the camera fits good in my hands and do not see the need for an additional grip that some people have mentioned. I have found that I want to purchase an additional flash, as the camera's built-in one just doesn't seem to have enough power. Also, kit lens doesn't include a strap for the lens cover, so be sure to add one to the cart! Just returned from vacation and loved the pictures I got. Good all-round choice for an intermediate like me.

Bought it because everyone said it had flash connector and it did have new features and large sensor. Took me a few calls to figure out it wouldn't use a regular flash slave because it flashes several times even with the red eye flash turned off, to cal it's lens distance. Have gone back to my D20.

Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel XTi SLR 10.1MB Camera Body Kit, Chrome Finish with EFS 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens - U.S.A. Warranty:

This is my first DSLR purchase. I wanted something that would have all the features that I would want or need, but I also wanted it to work like a point and shoot camera for my wife. We settled into the Cannon Digital Rebel XTi and there were no questions that it was the right camera for us. We use this camera to take great pictures of our daughter and trips, but we still keep our small point and shoot camera for trips where we do not want to take a big camera. We also compared the picture quality to our 5.25Mp point and shoot camera and were very surprised in the clarity and color richness the Digital Rebel XTi has. The added software also makes it easy to download and manage all the pictures we take (and it seems that we take a lot more now with this camera). The only drawback I have with a DSLR is that you need to take a decent size bag with you to house all the equipment, but that is the same for all DSLR's and is a trade off for the quality you receive in the pictures. All in all, this is a great purchase for the money and we are extremely pleased.

Quality digital camera
By Color AtlasVerified Purchaser from Huntly, Virginia on 2/10/2007

Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel XTi SLR 10.1MB Camera Body Kit, Chrome Finish with EFS 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens - U.S.A. Warranty:

The lens front should have a bayonet mount on the front, so that filters, such as a polarizer, should be easily interchanged. Instead, it has exceedingly fine threads, which are all-to-easily cross-threaded. Adding filters is a very slow touchy task, because a filter has to be perfectly aligned to the front edge to engage the threads correctly. Cherry red colors are reproduced more orange-red. Royal blue and primary blue are more toward cyan. Purples are either redder or bluer than they should be. All colors appear duller than they should be, especially when compared with prints from color negative film or with color slide film. On testing with a spectrograph, I see why. Peak blue occurs around 475nm and peak red sensitivity occurs at 610nm. Blue sensitivity should be broadened to include shorter wavelengths than it does and should peak closer to 450nm. Red sensitivity should peak around 625nm and be broader, too. The exposure range which produces good results is very narrow, similar to slide films. Its camera case is awkwardly designed, such that it has to be totally removed, including the bottom section, to swap out the memory chip or battery. Even removing the front part of the case for taking pictures isn't quick & easy. On the good side, I appreciate this camera's resolving power and the flexibility of control, even though the implementation of a few features is not as intuitive as I would like. The viewing screen is excellent at providing represenatation of how it will appear on the computer screen. The ability to use manual focus, when desired, and the ability to work with studio flash (with a special adapter)are the main reasons I bought this camera. It does both well. Where convenience, speed of getting results in digital form and overall quality are needed, this camera does well. For faithful color reproduction and tone scale, it hasn't quite replaced what silver halide color negative film can do.

This is a great addition to the canon lineup. The camera takes great photos just using the many presets. The xti also gives you all the control you need to get the image your looking to capture using the picture style menu to adjust everything from sharpness to contrast.

This camera took a little time to learn all about it but well worth the time spent. It takes excellent pictures and is really quite simple to use. I love the 3 frames per sec. shooting ability. This camera would be hard to beat for the price. Two thumbs up for the XTi.
