Summary: Good Camera, Poor Quality Lens
Review: As an experienced former slr user I am very disappointed. This is a good camera with great features but the lens quality of the 28-90mm in the kit does not produce very sharp pictures. After shooting two rolls of film it became very clear that my old Fuji point and shoot was producing better quality pictures. Also, the built-in flash is a bit on the weak side. Flash coverage was not as good as my point and shoot camera. This is a big disappointment from Canon. Consider buying the camera body only and finding a higher quality lens to purchase separately.

Summary: Extremely easy to use
Review: First let it be said that I am a total novice at photography. I was looking for a camera with the ease of a point and shoot, but the flexibility of an SLR. This is it. It takes picture of exceptional quality and clarity, and in Full auto mode has super-sharp focus in a fraction of a second. It also has custom modes that will help you in specific situations, such as portraiture or high-action situations - like sporting events. The camera is also extremely light! It gets comments on how light it is whenever I let someone hold it. I had it around my neck for an entire weekend, and never got tired. I highly reccommend it.

Summary: Perfect for amateurs who want to take great pictures
Review: For someone who wants to start taking great pictures, this turned out to be great camera! I like how Canon has divided the dial into pre-set and creative zones so you can select to take a quick picture or use the easy programming feature to capture the scene the way you want. For example, you can select the shutter speed and it will select the correct aperture automatically. That makes it a lot easier for people who are not professional photographers. The best part is that by turning the dial to the green box I can use it as a point and click for those run-of-mill quick pictures. Its a regular Jekyll and Hyde, this one!On the downside, a beginner like me had real trouble figuring out how to take great pictures using the manual that came with the camera. I found that the $... for the CANON EOS Rebel 2000 book by Heiner Henninges and Bob Shell was well worth it. If you are not quite conversant with Canon SLRs spent the extra few bucks and you will really enjoy using the great features of this camera.

Summary: It's perfect!
Review: I bought the body with USM 28-105 lens four months ago and I loved it so much. You can use many functions to take beautiful pictures. On some point, it's better than the Canon EOS 50. But I must remind you: the 28-90 lens is not good and professional. So my suggestion is: just buy the body. A good lens is very important.

Summary: I still love this camera after using it for a year
Review: I bought this camera a year ago in May 2001. I wanted to experiment if I could get something better than what my trusty 10 year old point & shoot Yashica gave me. It looked really great - but my initial impression was that it had too many controls and lights which got in the way of the task of taking pictures. My first few rolls were not very impressive - infact I thought my old camera was better. But when I looked closer, the prints were definitely much clearer and sharper. So it appeared that I was spending time figuring out how to use it, and not enough on the subject. The next few were much better, after spending time with the manual ( which could be written better). Now about a year and 15 rolls later, the pictures I get are simply astounding - both in the automatic and manual mode. I am happy that I put behind me the first few dissapointing rolls - and now have some really superb results.

Summary: Professional photos from an amateur photographer...
Review: I bought this camera for my girlfriend for her birthday, but I have seen the wonderful results this camera produces...The first thing I really noticed about this camera are the great looks of it. The whitish-silver body and the lense make a very attractive combination compared to the dark silver and black... But that is honestly second to the features that really matter about this camera. The Rebel has the ability to be used as an automatic or manual camera. This includes all settings. Dispite what other reviewers have said I looked over the manual for this camera and it does contain enough information to simply read and start using... Although I must admit the camera on auto-mode makes the pictures come out flawlessly almost everytime. It does everyonce and a while have trouble focusing if you have multiple images all close together, but usually it gets to the point and zooms right in. The kit is also very nice... The bag is completely customizable with velcro seperators, a film section and a seperate lens cap zipper. (...). The strap is also very nice, emblazzend with the canon logo. Anyways overall this is a great camera. With a little artistic vision and a couple sample rolls you will be amazed with the type of picture you are shooting. The zoom is excellent getting the right down to the intricate details of a what seems almost microscopic quality... I would also suggest shooting some black and white film with this camera, it comes out beautifully...

Summary: Good entry-level SLR
Review: I bought this camera kit for my 13-year-old son for Christmas because I own a Canon EOS A2E and a variety of lenses that he can share with this camera. The Rebel 2000 is fantastically lightweight - kind of amazing compared to any of the more expensive Canon SLRs (A2E, EOS-3, etc.). It should be noted however that although the camera takes all EOS lenses, the lens mount is plastic, so it is not likely that you would want to use this as an extra body on a jungle expedition (but chances are if you own an EOS-3 you already know that). My son especially liked the silver lens that comes with this kit - it is not to my taste at all, but I guess his generation thinks silver looks more cool than black! Although the Rebel 2000 does not have eye-control focus, it does have focus points that can be manually selected with the rotary dial - this is not as cool technologically as an A2E or EOS 3 (that actually tracks your eyeball to focus on what you are seeing) but in many ways is more practical. All-in-all this is a nice gem of an SLR.

Summary: Great value and features for beginners
Review: I bought this camera not knowing much about cameras but wanting one that would allow me to expand later. I read the manual and knew I'd be using the auto feature most of the time for now. The manual is concise but efficient for beginners. All my pics taken so far have been with Kodak 400 film and are very clear and crisp. The evening shots I took in Vegas were using the pre-set auto feature for darker environments which came out amazing! The vista shots using the pre-set for background shots of Grand Canyon came out spectacular: wide area covered with great detail. It is light weight enough that I walked around Vegas with this on my neck and the battery is still strong after 5 rolls of film. The styling is very updated with the silver body and the 28-90mm lens covered every possible scenario I was interested in taking. The kit I got included (...) a nice Canon canvas case, camera straps, mini-album and battery. Good value for the price. Considered the Olympus IS-50 also but wanted the option of changine lenses later on.
