Canon Rebel XTI

I love this camera. I bought it in October 2007. It is very easy to use and takes amazing pictures in any light. I bought this product because I want to open a photography business. This camera is a good stepping stone to help me get used to a camera that isn't "point and shoot." I also have the 35mm version of this camera that is a very good camera as well. I love the easy use of this camera. I do wish that it had a live view on it, but I know the newer models that Canon put out have this. Another thing that is great about this camera is that it takes excellent pictures with and without a tripod. The battery on my Rebel is excellent. I was told that I would only be able to shoot for 30-45 min...but my battery lasts anywhere from 2-6 hours. The camera with a lens on it can get kind of heavy if you have it around your neck all day long. I suggest using a tripod (using a tripod also helps if your hands aren't steady). This camera does great in low light as well as basically direct sunlight.
