ENJOY THE CAMERA BUT WOULD LIKE TO GET AN EXTENTED WARRANTY LIKE I HAD ON MY PREVIOUS ONE DON'T SEE WERE YOU OFFER IT.

I was very skeptical about going digital. I have the Canon 35mm rebel with also the 80-300mm lens. A friend suggested the digital and I just didn't think I would like the quality of the pictures. Well, after lots of thought, I finally bought it and now I wonder what took me so long. I just used it and shot about 100 pictures at one event. When I got home, I was able to delete the pics that I didn't like, before going and having them all developed and then sifting through the ones I wouldn't use when scrapbooking the event. I can't wait to take this one to Disney in September. Great purchase and I am very pleased with the easy to use ability of the camera. Since I am not that familiar with digital, I was some worried, but it is very user friendly.

Purchased it because everyone said it had a flash PC connector, [...]. It does not have a flash PC connector and fires multiple shots from it's canon flashes that make it difficult to set up flash pictures. I gave it away to a beginner friend and went back to my 20D for digital.

Most pros know you have to calibrate your camera. This was true with film, and it's more true with digital cameras. The most common complaint I've heard about the XTi (flash exposure issues) is totally correctable in just a few minutes from the camera setup menus. Otherwise, it's been an amazing camera, saving me thousands over the professional version with all the same features I use and higher resolution. It's a no brainer.

The camera was delivered and performed perfictly on my trip through the Panama Canal and the rest of the cruise, only had to charge the battery once in 15 days.Great weight and very easy to carry.

I have had little success taking sports pictures of my kids with a standard digital camera. On the recommendation of a friend, I purchased this camera along with a Canon USM 70-300MM lens. This combination has been terrific. I have also been taking advantage of Canon's online training to learn photography in general and the operation of the XTI specifically. Overall I'm pleased with the XTI and I think it is something I can build on and use for a very long time.

This is my fifth Canon SLR, 2nd digital and like the others, it has not been a disappointment. It has a solid and sturdy feel. And the prints have been beautiful. Definitely worth the money!

I have been waiting for an affordable digital canon with more megapixels.This is it! I love this camera.I am impressed with the clarity of detail and the fact that I can edit my pictures before investing time and money to print them. It will probably be a while before I take some film shots with my EOS rebel.This camera has rekindled the shutterbug in me.

Like the large screen and the many options included from Canon. I had the original Rebel DSLR and this camera is a big upgrade for me.

I bought the camera a month ago with an EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM SLR lens. Pictures are excellent and controls are easy to use. I'm exploring the advance controls of the camera and they are easy to setup and use. So far the experience is great. Even in auto mode camera takes excellent pictures. If anyone is looking for a professional digital SLR, Canon Rebel XTi is an excellent choice.

I love this camera so much I just insured it! Of all of the purchases I've made in my 37 years of life, this is one of the best values bar none. I considered the 30D and 5D but couldn't pass up on the value the XTi offered and the quality when paired with good lenses (especially the L lenses). I absolutely LOVE this lens and honestly I can find very few faults. I wish it could hold 30 RAW images in burst mode, and I wish the P mode would do a better job avoiding blurry images, but otherwise this thing is perfect. Oh, and it would be great if it had a full-frame sensor, but even if I bought the 5D replacement I'd still keep this one in my bag with my 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens as the results I get with that combo are absolutely incredible.

This is my first digital SLR, and I have fallen in love. This camera does everything I need, and has plenty of extra features that I haven't even touched yet. I've had the camera for about four months, and it hasn't given me any troubles at all so far. My only complaint is that it is a little too small for my hands, but that will soon be fixed with a battery grip. Like all Canons I've used to this point, this camera makes anyone feel like a pro behind the lense. I especially enjoy shooting RAW and using the 10 megapixels to their fullest. Overall this camera is great, and I have used the Nikon D80 and I think the XTi is a perfect fit for me. Worth every penny.

I have had the Rebel Digital, the Rebel XT and this one, the XTi. I really like this camera for closeups and nature photography. Easy to use, not too heavy.

sensor cleaning facility, bigger screen are the only attractions, If you own Rebel XT then I would not recommend XTi, as there isnt much in this version..

An incredible bridge from simple to more complex photography. If buying as a lens combo kit, I suggest upgrading to: Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM

This product has met my expectations with its quality and ease of use regarding menu control and placement. Control placement and Handling are comfortable. View finder is bright.

Using Canon AE-1 for many years,I finally took the digital plunge. I purchased the Rebel XTi as a "back-up" and a Nikon D200 as a primary camera. After shooting a few thousand pictures, I have decided to use the Rebel as my "fulltime" camera.It is simple to use with excellent colour reproduction and unparalled sharpness.

i like the camera body as i do have small hands and the fit feels very comfortable. i do wish that the body had the anti-shake feature but buying the lenses which do makes it great and the anti-dust on the sensor feature is a smart purchase too!

I've been a Canon user for years, and one reason I purchased Canon again is that I already have some lenses. This camera takes great pictures, as would any camera with equal resolution and features. Being able to shoot in both RAW and JPEG is very useful if you are interested in using Photoshop. I don't think that this camera will disappoint anyone who purchases it. I do think that Canon needs to put some more thought into their documentation. I found the instruction book poorly organized and not very detailed. Once you learn Canon's menu organization on the camera itself, the buttons all make sense. I think that this camera is a great choice, and heads above the rest in this category. The only reason to spend more money would be to get a camera with a full frame sensor.

I bought the camera body without the (universally derided) kit lens, and with the Sigma 18 - 125 zoom. Together these work very nicely, and silently - contrary to some early reviews. Color rendition is generally good, but I found that the automatic white balance sometimes gets fooled - no problem if you set it. I'm getting extremely detailed, sharp, low noise photos even at ISO 800 and perhaps 1600. I'm not missing the absence of body-housed VR except at very low light levels, when I can use flash or a tripod. I miss the absence of spot metering, although the center weighted option is almost as useful much of the time. The autofocus, with this Sigma lens, had a tendency to mis-focus also in low light levels until I switched to the center-spot weighted option. I'd like to see the built-in flash be able to bounce - none of the competitors cameras can be used as bounce flash either. To the folks who say high megapixel counts are unimportant, I say that the extra detail becomes important when you crop and blow up small sections of an image using Photoshop or the equivalent - if there is not enough detail there you are limitied in what you can do.

A solid digital SLR. The controls are fairly straightforward, although some time with the manual helps. The automatic settings are good. It's pretty easy to adjust settings while shooting. The AF and metering are reliable. There are some excellent features available for those who are willing to get into the manual, but it's simple enough to use right from the box. Battery life is good and start up time is excellent.

This is a good camera and easy to use. It is a little small, so I would recommend the batterygrip. Make sure to use it with good lenses! Great for outdoor, indoor and studiowork.

This is my first DSLR after giving up film. I've been loyal to Canon for years, but had a hard time closing the deal on the Rebel XT when Nikon just released the D80. Low and behold, Canon releases the XTi! I bought it on sort of a whim when it first came out...no reviews or anything. I went on the faith that there's no way Canon would release an upgrade that wasn't better in every way than it's replacement. Well, my faith came true! This camera is an incredible bargain for what you get. The polycarb body doesn't bother me...seems this is where they were able to cut the cost to make this such a buy. A few things to remember...from ISO 100 to 800 I usually keep +2/3 exposure comp when shooting in lower light and light colored objects outdoors. When shooting ISO 1600, be very careful not to underexpose the shot. ISO 1600 pics from this camera are very nice, just remember to turn up the EV comp. Spend the money for good, fast aperature lenses! You won't regret it and the performance will be even more stunning. I use the EF-S 18-55 F2.8 IS and the EF 70-200 F4L IS. Excellent lenses!

Canon Digital Rebel XTi - Pro Review
By Dan g.
After several days of use, this incredible camera has impressed me greatly. The focus is fast and precise, and the image quality is unrivaled in this league of consumer camera. It is terrific in the higher ISO ranges, producing almost no noise in the images. Test shots at 1600 ISO were by far the best I have seen. Even a pro can enjoy this little beauty.
Extremely Satisfied
By PeeDee
My expectations have been exceeded in multiple areas with the XTi. I shot pictures of my Golden Retriever in low light, choosing to increase the ISO to 800 and even to 1600 with very little noise. All-in-all, the controls are easy to use, the battery life is tremendous and the custom controls allow for great variety. I recommend this SLR to amateurs and even semi-pros with the availability of many lenses to fit anyone's need. The 2.5in LCD screen allows for a clear representation on playb...

Canon's large-area CMOS sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in its class. This APS-C size sensor (22.2 x 14.8mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF Lens focal length. With an effective pixel resolution of 3,904 x 2,598, the EOS Digital Rebel XTi offers superb detail and clarity, even in large prints, and generates finished files that open at approximately 30MB in your image-editing software.
On Canon's CMOS sensor, each pixel is captured with fine detail to create images of tremendous depth and resolution, ensuring enough information for even poster-sized prints. With the DIGIC II Image Processor on board, photographers can expect natural color reproduction, precise white balance in any number of lighting situations and unparalleled clarity.
The EOS Digital Rebel XTi has a brilliant 2.5-inch LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 pixels. All shooting and review information is accessed on the rear LCD monitor, and the wide viewing angle of 160° and brighter, easier-to-read menus give the new Rebel XTi LCD monitor an obvious advantage. When composing images, the Digital Rebel XTi's external display turns off automatically to prevent the LCD monitor's brightness from disturbing the photographer's eye. With a startup time of 0.2 seconds, the EOS Digital Rebel XTi is ready to go the instant it's brought to the eye. And the Digital Rebel XTi's shutter can record images as fast as 1/4000 seconds and as long as 30 sec., plus bulb at up to 3 fps for 27 consecutive shots. It synchronizes with Canon Speedlites at 1/200 seconds.
The EOS Digital Rebel XTi has a high-precision 9-point AF system for speedy and accurate focusing in any situation. photographers can recreate characteristics of their favorite films. Color, saturation, sharpness and contrast settings create noticeable variation in the saved image. In addition to six preset Picture Styles (Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome), users can create 3 additional settings for their particular photographic style.
Printing and uploading to a computer is incredibly simple with the Digital RebelXTi's Print/Share button. The EOS Digital Rebel XTi not only sports a newly-refined body with better ergonomics and an improved grip, but it also has some of Canon's most advanced improvements in dust reduction. The Digital Rebel XTi's integrated hardware and software solutions make trouble with dust a thing of the past.
The EOS Digital Rebel XTi features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system. You can use it's flush-mounted integral flash or or any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line. The EOS Digital Rebel XTi is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses, & including Canon's EF-S series lenses manufactured specifically for Canon's APS-C sized digital sensor.
