The Camera That Turned Me Digital

, December 29, 2006Reviewer: benjaminvolant - See all benjaminvolant's reviews21 of 22 Yahoo! Users found this Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Kit - Silver review helpfulPros: So much camera for the money / very clear and sharp LCD screen / overall features and high specs
Cons: lens kit (18-55mm) supplied gives slightly soft images / RAW editing software not the best, but at least it is supplied with the camera at no extra cost (unlike Nikon's) / simultaneous RAW and large jpegs only, no simulteneous RAW + thumbnails instead (hence takes up more memory on card when function used)
Quality of image superb, can support big blow ups. Possibility to shoot in RAW and edit raw files at no extra cost (software supplied). The continuous shooting mode is pretty good, the flash-use possibilities good too.
Really, for a semi-pro camera (I mean not full frame sensor), it boasts most of the features of a high end digital camera. I just wish the highest shutter speed went up to 1/8000th of a sec.
Other than that, I was rather impressed by the possibilities offered by this model. Go into the menu and you'll see that it has been designed to suit the amateurs (even novices!), as well as the pros.
If you can afford it, bypass the 18-55 kit lens and get something a bit better. If you are into landscape (or other wide angle use), bear in mind this is the 35mm equivalent of a 29-88mm zoom. I think it is a better option to opt for a 10-20mm instead (this will give you a 16-32mm equivalent in 35mm terms). On this 18-55mm lens, though, the minimum focussing distance is rather good and allow great close-ups at all focal lengths (if you're into the odd macro shot), so all is not lost...
These pretty little cameras should be even a better deal on the second-hand market once the updated version comes out.
GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY!!! ...

Canon Digital Rebel XT review
We had the chance to play with the Canon Digital rebel XT for some time and we can conclude that the camera is a worthy successor to the EOS 300D. It is ideally suited to its target market - the family amateur who is serious about his photography. Its small size will be an advantage to most users,... more... -

Canon Digital Rebel XT
In 2003, Canon opened the floodgates for affordable digital single lens reflex (D-SLR) cameras with the 6-megapixel Digital Rebel, the first digital camera with an interchangeable lens for under $1,000 dollars. Now, the company has blown away the competition with the introduction of the new 8 MP... more...

Pros: quality, pricing, usefulness
Cons: with the camera body it's self i have found nothing
I was one of those photographers who didn't want to go digital, not because i feared the change but because of the quality of digital cameras.. the lag, the zoom, nothing really appealed to me on a professional level. When the DSLRs started coming out, i started to take more notice of the benefits of Digital Photography. But, it wasn't until the Rebel XT was released that i knew i wanted to change over. I had been using 35mm Rebels and the fact that the XT was the cousin to my other's was a big selling point as all my lenses work on the XT as well.
I have used my XT in everything from weddings to just taking photos around the house for over a year now,and it has never let me down. When you use the XT along with Canon Photo printers and paper you can't go wrong, my photography business has expanded simply because of the ease of digital, and i couldn't have done it if not for the XT that finally convinced me to go for it
i recommend this camera to whoever is serious about photography on any level the price is well worth the quality and the end result. i have found that using it has actually improved the quality of my photography and i know it will do the same for others. ...
