    great first DSLR

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 19, 2008 | 13 out of 14 found this Canon Digital Rebel XS review helpful

    Pros: Easy to use, easy to navigate, live view, high res, long battery life

    Cons: kit lens is disappointing

    Canon makes great cameras, I can't see myself buying another brand. This thing is built like a tank but not too heavy. I considered buying another Powershot for portability and was seriously looking at the G10. I was able to get this Rebel XS for... only fifty bucks more, and it is a world of difference better when it comes to image noise due to its MUCH larger sensor, but also very portable -- the smallest Rebel ever. I am disappointed with the kit lens, it is a bit slower than I was expecting, but the IS feature is great! Canon should ship this camera with the EF 50mm f/1.8 to add serious punch right out of the box. If you own this camera and don't yet have this prime lens, go get it, it's super cheap and a perfect addition for crystal clear portraits and much better bokeh. This step-down from the XSi loses two auto-focus points and has a smaller LCD, and no spot metering. For the price difference, these are small concessions. I'm VERY happy with my purchase!

    the best for your buck

    By anna  Oct 14, 2008 | 5 out of 5 found this Canon Digital Rebel XS review helpful

    Pros: live view, easy to use, long battery life

    Cons: need fast lens for the clearest pictures

    This is my first DSLR, and so far I love it. The battery life is really long, and I rarely have to charge it. The picture quality is clear as long as you have a fast, solid lens.

    cheapest canon DSLR

    By Pxls  May 10, 2009 | 2 out of 2 found this Canon Digital Rebel XS review helpful

    Pros: excellent image quality, SDHC slot, ISO value in viefinder, kit lens optical quality + its IS, 7 AF points, ergonomy + count of control buttons (some of them programmable), quick menu

    Cons: plastic body, only one dial, maximum ISO 1600 , poor build quality of kit lens, only 1,5 fps when shooting in raw, slow AF in LiveView , dial is not working when changing WB, metering, AF..., small Viefinder, no spot metering, no C1,C2 modes

    for low price you will get camera excellent camera. It has all basic functions and settings you could need. Controls are slightly worse then they are in more advanced cameras but you should be happy with them. If you want to use it in lowlight condit...ion you should consider to buy brighter lens with faster AF. Kit lens has DC AF and f/3.5-5.6. Kit lens surpized me in optical quality but its build quality its very poor. Viefinder is small so it is hardly usable for manual focusing. I will recomend it as one of best entry level DLSR.

    Pros: grear price and outstanding product

    Cons: none known so far

    I had bought 2, the first one was returned because of a defect but as soon as I got my new one home I was so impressed!!!! There are so many features and great guides came with the package as well. I have not used the software for this camera yet tho...ugh. The pictures are stunning and if used on the highest resolution, makes great pictures for editing such as selective coloring Read more Less

    Great for first time Dslr users

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 5, 2009 | 1 out of 2 found this Canon Digital Rebel XS review helpful

    Pros: Excellent photo quality, live view, straight forward functions, light weight

    Cons: in-camera editing

    Having bought this best-for-the-buck yet a great camera for the first time, now its hard to resist going "trigger happy" with the shutter. The build quality could have been better, but what can I say since its the cheapest Canon dslr on the... market at the moment. Though, in terms of the photo quality, its GREAT!The only disappointment is there is no in-camera editing features. Read more Less

    By Jennifer  Feb 7, 2009 | 1 out of 2 found this Canon Digital Rebel XS review helpful

    Pros: Great features, easy to use, amazing photo quality, light weight

    Cons: none yet

    I just recieve this for my birthday on Feb. 3. I have been enjoying every since. I went from using a Kodak Easyshare z1012 IS, which was a great point and shoot to this Canon.. I would surely recommend this camera to others.. Well worth the money..
