happy BUT>>>>>> 
2008-06-21
happy happy happy happy BUT I have a hardware problem, the flash lid is not popping up and give an error sign. So, I sent it to Cannon and they were absolutely wonderful about fixing the problem in a timely manner. Got my camera back,......same problem. POO POO I still love my camera. It takes awesome pictures. I am sure my malfunction is a fluke and I would definitely buy the camera again.
Very nice transaction

Though this camera is not as good as the 30 which I have since upgraded to it is a great starter camera. The review is a bit slow through pictures and I feel the camera is a bit small in my hands other than that it was wonderful.
Saving lots of $$$ 2008-06-19
I am saving a lot of money by learning how to take professional photographs of my son instead of paying a "professional" and spending a load of money on half-decent pictures. This camera is definitely paying for itself and I'll be looking into purchasing lenses in the future as my skills and knowledge grow.
Canon Digit Rebel XT 2008-06-19
Great camera. I bought this as an entry level SLR. The pictures are phenomenal. A fun camera to use for every day photography.
Don't forget the memory card 2008-06-16
Great Camera. It meets all my expectations. The only fault I find is the lack of a memory card in the kit. You can't just take it out of the box and start using it. You have to purchase a memory card separately.
Canon repair, Hope you don't need it!!

When I received this camera I took a lot of test shots, they were quite impressive. I didn't use the camera for about a week and found it didn't work because of a dead battery, even though it had been fully charged.
I bought a spare battery thinking it may have been defective, same thing even though I made sure the battery was fully charged and the camera was off.
I then searched the online forums and found that this was a fairly common problem. When I called Canon support they first tried to blame it on something I had done. I told them that there were numerous people with the same problem and canon should be aware of it and asked if they had a download that could fix it.
Their reply was to remove the battery except when I was using the camera. I said: "That is was not acceptable as too often once in a lifetime shots would be missed while fumbling to install a battery."
It was agreed that I should RMA the camera and although it was still under warranty it cost $$ to insure and ship it.
When it was finally returned (I missed all the holiday pics) they claimed to have re-soldered a circuit board and replaced the tripod socket.
I don't believe they did anything and now the little latch that holds the battery in place is worn out and I use a rubber band to hold the battery in. It still takes good pictures though.
Canon has made another excellent camera 2008-07-11
The Rebel XT is an excellent base digital SLR. It is easy enough for a beginner photographer to use, but it allows more advanced users the freedom to express themselves with manual controls. It takes great photos and the battery lasts a long time. I've taken over 500 photos (without the flash) on a single charge. An excellent camera.
camara buena pero el lente no tanto 2008-07-03
la cámara es increíble, pero el lente al ser un Zoom no es muy luminoso, por lo que hay que compensar con el iso de la cámara, incluso 1600, pero ahí la imagen pierde nitidez aparece el grano.
excellent value 2008-06-26
excellent value for price. Clear sharp images, good color. the camera is easy to use with a short learning curve. It is small and light. there is a wide variety of lenses available both from canon and third party vendors. the only drawback is the view finder which should be extended slightly further from the body of the camera.
Works like a charm! 2008-06-21
This is my first digital SLR camera and I was a bit hesitant at first to spend almost $500 on a camera. However, it was well worth the amount. I've had a lot of fun with this little camera and I've already taken some pretty amazing shots. It's real user friendly. A real small body so it's easy to travel with and the battery power is outstanding. I will purchase a different lens soon. The one that comes with the body is alright if I had to rate that I'd probably give it three and a half stars. I've had a real hard time with trying to focus on people with that lens when trying to take portraits. Other than than that it creates sharp images. I suggest this to anyone who is new to the digital SLR cameras.
enjoy!
