Summary: Great budget SLR
Review: I've been using this camera for about a year. It does really good job for the price. Can be used for SLR beginners, or for people who want a great professional (almost) camera for less.

Summary: Watch out....
Review: My friend & I both bought the Rebel G two years ago while taking a photography course. In May of this year her shutter stoppped working. She had it repaired for $160.00. Now last month my shutter also went... while I was taking the pictures of the new Mayor at his celebration election night. My friend's camera is now again having shutter problems..... I have had an ongoing dialog with Canon regarding this... and to date the only satisfaction offered to both of us is to mail the cameras to the factory.. they will do a free inspection.. then we will pay for the repair.... and receive a 6 month warrenty... that is not acceptable.... because my friends camera is just past the 6 months & she needs a repair. Canon states that this is not a defect... But it just can't be a coincidence that they would both have the same problem. We bought them from different stores.

Summary: Excellent Camera! Went kapoot after 3 1/2 yrs heavy use.
Review: My wonderful husband gave me this camera as a gift for Christmas 1998, after I had been drooling over my Dad's for a year. I must say I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this camera. It takes absolutely beautiful pictures, is easy to use, and lightweight. I take a lot of pictures and averaged about 20-40 rolls of film a year, until my son was born in June of 2001. Then I averaged about 1-2 rolls of film a WEEK (seriously). My camera continued to take this heavy use (and the batteries lasted a good long time, too) until April of this year (2002). Then the auto focus feature went out on the body. I had the camera repaired (for [$$]) but it never was the same since. If I knew then what I know now I would have just paid a little more and replace my camera. The first repair fixed the problem but the repair center did something wrong and my camera burnt out within the week. After they basically replaced the insides after that error, the quality of the pictures went down. It is like the flash fires a half a second later and most of my close-ups and the rest of my pictures in general are overexposed. The repair shop insists nothing is wrong with my camera, so there is nothing I can do, but replace it. I will definitely buy another canon Rebel (probably upgrade from this model). I recommend this camera to anyone and just let them know that after heavy use, and it breaks, it is most likely not worth the money and aggravation to repair it. Just replace (this model price has dropped so much it is a bargain!). By the way my Dad's camera is still going stong.

Summary: Nice camera, but don't by a refurb...
Review: Normally, I swear by refurbs, but I have to second-guess that notion after buying this camera. Physically, it is in perfect condotion, and all pieces are there. Those two points led me to believe that the camera was perfect. Well, the first thing that bothered me was that none of the automatic exposure modes (auto, portrait, landscape, etc.) work. Not sure why, and I have read the manual twice to ensure that I was not overlooking some obvious button to enable these modes. Another issue, and I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature, is that the LCD stays on while film is loaded--even when the camera is "powered off". The camera constantly shows the exposures remaining and the "film loaded" indicator stays on. I guess since LCD watches last for years on one battery, then this shouldn't be a serious battery drain. It is good to know before you pull it out to use and potentially ruin good film. Maybe its a feature. Now for the good points: flawless pictures. I am using the camera for a intermediate photography class (which is why I didn't return it), and it takes perfect exposures. So far, I have done night photos, multiple exposures (camera will handle 9), action shots, and family pictures, all with flawless results. Granted, the great pictures are due to the photographer, but the clarity and sharpness are really impressive. The user interface takes some getting used to, but it actually seems intuitive once you learn the camera. It seems that aperature and shutter could be adjusted easier, though. Minus two because of the first two points. I'd imagine if I had bought it new it would be an easy 5 for a photo hobbyist like myself.

Summary: Excellent Camera, Easy Controls
Review: The Canon EOS Rebel G is absolutely wonderful. The autofocus is the fastest I've ever used. The metering system is difficult to fool, although I've still managed to do it a couple times. It has a wide range of automatic modes which all produce excellent results and save me a lot of work. But when I want more control, several semi-automatic modes and a fully manual mode allow me to do whatever I want with as little or as much work as I want. This camera has served well in all sorts of conditions in all kinds of situations. Even in the fully-automatic "snapshot" mode, the Rebel G can capture some unbelievable shots. It's easy to load, and the batteries last longer than I'm used to, so that's another bonus. Lots of extras are available which I can't wait to try out! You can't go wrong here. Buy it.
