Summary: Happy camper
Review: I can't speak from a professional level, but I can tell you that I am really happy with everything about this camera. It takes beautiful shots, great color, has great features, and also allows me to fully customize my shots. I can only imagine how many rolls of film I would have ruined experimenting with different settings. With the Rebel, I take the picture, and can immediately see if I'm over or under exposed etc. It's kinda like cheating. I also picked up the 75-300 USM lens. Quick and accurate focus. A must have with this camera. I actually started with the Canon G5, but quickly returned it after using it. Focus was way too slow. I shoot mainly action shots, and this camera has held up to all the reviews. My next add on is the flash.

Summary: WOW Great Digital SLR
Review: I upgraded from a Canon G2, which was a great camera, but too slow. I am used to quick snaps like a normal SLR. Well this baby gives me the best of both worlds, Digital and Quick like an SLR. The built in flash is incredible since it pops up high above the lens. Being as high as it is, I haven't seen red eye in any of my photos. I also have a 420ex Speedlight, but don't really need it. I tried it out and it makes the picture look even better. This camera is light, is comfortable in the hand, quick, great focus, and really clear shots. It does an incredible job at focusing close up and in general. I can't complain about this camera yet. I only had it for 5 days, but so far I am not dissapointed. It is everything I have wanted especially the speed so you don't miss those great shots. The file size is about 1.3 megs when used on Large so get a big card. I ordered a 1GB SanDisk Ultra II that has the fastest write speeds. That should take care of space and give me some extra speed. Bottom line - if you take a few pics here and there, don't spend the moeny. If you like to take photos and dont want to miss shots spend the money on this and you wont be dissapointed.

Summary: SLR quality. Digital convenience. Do able price!
Review: I have had several generations of digital cameras which suffered from
- low quality (see the pixels at letter size prints)
- slow shutter (see the kids blur...)
- inability to handle poor light (don't take night shots...)
- limited lens choices (you didn't want to do interiors or close ups right!...)
e.g. my last the Nikon Coolpix 5000 bought at almost the same price 18 months back The Digial Rebel answers (with external flash) all of these problems and is a joy to use. It bears comparison with the Canon 10D and Nikon D100 professional digital SLR's. Most of the differences other than metal bodies and price tags you wont even notice unless you're a pro photographer. The other digitals in the consumer market at it's price point seem like toys in comparison.

Summary: The Best DSLR Value Around!
Review: You can't beat this camera for the money. it accepts all Canon EF lenses and lenses from other manufacturers like Sigma and Tamron. it uses the same battery pack as the Canon G3 and also the same Compact Flash memory cards. It is very easy to use but will take some time to master if you are just used to shooting with your average digicam. but you will be very satisfied with your results once you get on to how to use it and the Adobe Photoshop Elements program that comes with it. the best part of this camera is the very fast autofocus. you will be shocked by how fast it is compared to regular digicams! you do all of your shooting using the optical viewfinder where you will find most of the important info like exposure, shutter speed, and aperture. the LCD screen is only used after a picture is taken for review. the LCD is not used for picture taking like with a standard digicam. another one of the high points of this camera is that you can use high ISO values without sacrificing image quality. this is very handy when you need to up the shutter speed for action shots or when shooting in low light. the camera has all the basic modes you need so you can start shooting right away and also the experimental modes so once you get the hang of it you can take more control of your shots. and with a DSLR you are never limited by a standard lens like you are with all other digicams. if you want to go out and buy very high quality Canon "L" glass then you can do it and use it! or if you can only afford "standard" lenses then you can just buy what you need. the bottom line is that you can build the camera system that meets YOUR needs! there are no limitations. and one last thing!! BUY THE KIT LENS!!! BUY THE KIT LENS!!! for one hundred dollars it is the cheapest and best option for a wide angle zoom you will find! so make sure you buy the camera with the kit lens.

Summary: Behooves Me
Review: I got this amazing camera for my husband. I have yet to touch it or take a picture with it- maybe in a couple of months I will be able to see it. But what I can say is, these are the most amazing pictures I have ever seen! We have had many digital cameras, all around $300- what a waste of money. I didn't want to spend this much money, but when I first saw the pictures of my kids it was just incredible picture quality. I do not know anything about cameras, but I do know when my kids look good. And we printed the pics out from an inkjet and they looked fabulous- I couldn't believe it. It is a lot of money but it is better than buying a new digital camera each year and getting memory, etc. A super camera- we also have the rebel camera and the lens works with the rebel digital.

Summary: Awesome camera!
Review: I've had this camera for a little over a month now. It is my third digital (following a Fuji FinePix 1400 and the FinePix S602Z - which I still take along for size and the super macro abilities) and my 3rd Canon (having started with an AE-1 and then the EOS A2). Having a nice arsenal of EOS lenses, the introduction of this camera made this purchase a no-brainer. I love, love, love it! Do spend the extra $ and get the SanDisk Ultra II 512 Mb memory card. Once you use this speedy memory, there will be no going back!

Summary: absolutely sweet prosumer digital camera
Review: I just got my digital rebel and I don't want to put it down. First, of all the camera is pretty hefty. I actually like heft to my camera as the weight helps reduce camera shake. Second, the thing is so quiet it's scary. The noisiest thing is the flash popping up - followed by the mirror moving for the shutter. Third - image quality is a killer, and I love the ability to change white balance, iso speed etc. And like other EOS models this camera lets me have as much or as little control over the exposure as I want. I can go all point and shoot automatic if I just want to pop off a few shots of friends at a party, or I can go fully manual to give Ansel Adams a run for his money. 6.3 megapixels - holy crap dude! There isn't much I currently do where I woudl ever need more than that, and if I do, I'll go rent a Hassie with a digital back or something. Auto-Focus is fast and sharp, and of course you can go manual as well. Transferring the image onto the card is a sub-second operation - nice auto drive feature. This camera has set a new bar for the digital camera market!

Review: Love this camera! You would have had to pay double this amount 6 months ago to get these capabilities. It is easy to use and takes great photos. Get it today! They'll be gone by Christmas.
