More than the sum of it's parts!

This camera is my workhorse. I'm shooting a "How To" book and this is all done in a studio setting. It stays on my studio tripod, day after day. The ability to shoot in B&W makes this the perfect camera for my needs.

Best camera I've owned

I previously used the Powershot Pro 1 which had the digic 1 image sensor. I wasn't too impressed with the quality of the Pro 1 because the noise level was the same as my older point and shoot canon. When I got the Rebel XT I was thrilled with the new Digic 2 sensor. The noise level is 1/5 what it was with the digic 1. Oh, and the camera has all that I need for becoming a better photographer. It performed perfectly during my trip to Rome.

Would buy the Rebel XT again

I was very excited to find a digital SLR in the 'prosumer' price & quality range. Instead of buying the kit with the 18-55mm lens, I opted to buy the Canon EF 28-135mm IS lens. I haven't been able to purchase any other lens as of yet, so my review is only based on the camera's performance with the 28-135mm lens. The only con I have about it, is that the photos appear brighter on the LCD than the actual exposure when you view & print the photos from the computer. But, if you can take that into account & monitor your histograms, it's not that big of a deal. I love that fact that the Rebel will shoot in RAW format, and has many of the features you will find on the level up professional Canon models, such as the EOS 10D (which was my first experience using a D-SLR). I mostly shoot for hobby, taking alot of photos around the house, of my cats and flowers/nature, etc. I find that the quality of the photos is excellent. I like that you can adjust the sharpness,and color saturation; and you can also shoot in black & white and sepia with color tints. It has a lot of nice special features to play with. I have a smaller frame and found that the Rebel was the perfect size for me. My husband also uses it sometimes, and he's never complained that it was too small for him. The built-in flash is as good as any, as far as built-in flash goes. I have not been able to purchase an external flash yet, but I prefer to use natural/ambient light as much as possible anyway. I do run into some trouble in low-light situations when I don't want to use the built-in flash, such as getting slightly blurry photos, but I feel that's because my lens isn't fast enough, and not a downfall of the acutal camera. I hope to be able to purchase a wider faster lens in the future. Also,I would recommend purchasing a card reader- it makes downloading time much quicker. I also liked the smaller battery size and found that the battery life was excellent. Overall I am happy that I purchased the Rebel XT, and would recommend it to others. (I have not used the newer XTi model yet, so I don't know if it much different than the XT...)

Better then I expedited

[...]The Rebel XT was all and more then I thought it would be, the black body has that professional look. I'm still learning about all the features the XT has but in the auto mode it has not disappointed me one bit.

Love this Camera

I love how fast the autofocus is, especially since I photograph lots of fast moving kids. I can't seem to get vibrant colors without processing in Photoshop which has been a bit disappointing. Overall, an excellent camera.

Rebel XT,,,Too early to make a call

There are a couple of features that need to be turned off the LCD screen but it get complicated. They made it easier in the XTI (D400) model but that doesn't fix it in the XT, so spend the extra money, you'll be happier.

I did not realize just how much better this camera is than the Digital Rebel I had previously. It is very fast starting up so you can take pictures very quickly.

Excellent camera, excellent value

The only drawback to this camera is the size of the display on the back. The 10 megapixel model has a larger one, which would be an advantage. However, this camera is probably the better value, as the 10 megapixel model is significantly more expensive.

Three times a charm

This is the third digital rebel for me. I have had the 6meg and the 8meg so a natural transition into the new 10meg XTi. I bought this one because of the good experiences I've had with the first two. Love canon cameras they are quality products and have so many good lenses available

Great digital SLR with 3 fps shooting and excellent quality. I have made great 11" x 16" photos and exhibited them. The price is amazing for the photo quality.

What a great camera!

I love this camera. It takes great pictures and is a manageable size and weight to carry around. I have not used all the special features but the basic features are just great! I don't always get the best low light pictures but I don't use the special features that would probably make a difference. My outdoor pictures in particular are fantastic!

Great camera, even for the uninformed

This camera gave me very good photos on my recent trip to Alaska, even though I didn't really have time to work with it before I left. The "automatic" setting came through in a variety of situations. I would still like to have the appropriate hot shoe flash to work with for better low light photos.

Easy to use

This is a great camera! I took pictures of my grandson at our campsite with the only lighting coming from the campfire (1' flames) and the flash. My daughter-in-law said it was professional quality--sharp details, saw the tiny hairs on his face, and veins on his forehead! Very easy to use--just remember to turn the knob if you change from portrait to landscape, etc.

wouldn't choose anything else

It was between this or the xti. I decided to go with this 1 and save about $200. I have shot night time football games, dances, portraits, skateboarding, and many many other things. This camera never fails me and always meets what I throw at it.

Better than figured

1.6 isn't good for lens under 50mm do the figureing with your lens before you buy a camera. Your wideset lens is as wide as you thought on this camera or just about all of them. Full Frame camera is years saving for most. And they can or will quit you too.

"It's what I expected and more"

Very nice camera for everyone. Really delivers high quality pictures. My only dislikes are the features I'll (and most people) will never use. Canon could have spent the money elsewhere and made the camera slightly more rugged. Still I'd recommend this camera to anyone.

Will buy a second Rebel XT as a back up.

My first camera was a Canon AE1 that I still have and use at times and will not part with. The AE1 is well over 20yrs old and still produces good pictures. When I first looked at the Rebel XT the Salesman was very knowledgable when the camera was explained to me. This camera has given me the confidence to start a Landscape Photography business.

By diego

Great camera, quick shots, great resolution, many editing options.

The EOS Digital Rebel XT features Canon's 8.0 Megapixel CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor, which captures images of exceptional clarity & tonal range & 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, creating an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF Lens focal length.

Featuring an on-chip Noise Reduction Circuit with an expanded ISO range, the Digital Rebel XT's sensor offers professional sophistication in a consumer package.

Digic II Image Processor: The EOS Digital Rebel XT's sensor is driven by the DIGIC II Image Processor, which has been enhanced across the board with improvements in speed and image quality.

Information captured by the sensor is processed & assembled into images of exceptional clarity & resolution. Consuming very little energy, DIGIC II works with the sensor to ensure natural colors, accurate white balance & speedy write times, letting you focus on taking pictures.

Smallest & lightest EOS Digital SLR to date (as of February 2005) Much smaller than its predecessor, the Digital Rebel XT measures 4.98" across, 3.71" tall & only 2.63" deep, so it fits perfectly in your hand. Plus the Digital Rebel XT weights less than two pounds, too!

Fast 3 frames-per-second shooting with a 14 frame burst & 0.2 second startup time The EOS Digital Rebel XT was designed from the ground up to be faster & more intuitive than the Digital Rebel. From the ultra-fast 0.2sec. startup time, shutter release lag of 100msec. & viewfinder blackout time of 175 msec., the Digital Rebel XT will never keep you waiting. A new high speed shutter shoots atspeeds of up to 1/4000 sec. for up to 14 shots & synchronizes with your flash at 1/200 sec.

High-speed, Wide-area 7-point AF with superimposed focusing points The EOS Digital Rebel XT has a newly developed high-precision 7-point AF system for speedy & accurate focusing in any situation.

You can easily choose your own point of focus or direct the camera to choose it automatically.

You can even use predictive AF to ensure that moving subjects stay focused while you compose your shot. With a built-in dioptric adjustment mechanism & a new precision matte screen, achieving sharp focus is fast & easy with the Digital Rebel XT, no matter where or when you're taking pictures.

User-selectable metering patterns, AF modes, custom functions & flash exposure compensation The Digital Rebel XT offers some of the easiest operation available in a digital camera today.

But when you're ready, it offers a number of advanced setting options previously found only on higher-end models. Metering Patterns
With the Digital Rebel XT, you have a choice of whether to use 35-zone AF point evaluative metering, partial metering at the center of the image or centerweighted averaged metering, similar to a meter in a traditional 35mm camera.

Canon EOS Rebel XT SLR Camera Body, 8 Megapixel, Chrome Features
