Canon Digital Rebel XT / EOS 350D Body only

Pros: Picture quality, durability, ease of use.

Cons: cost

The Bottom Line: If your point and click doesn't do it for you and you want something more, seriously consider getting this camera.

Review: Just to give you a little background, I'm not a professional photographer, or even a "photo enthusiast," matter of fact, if you start talking about what settings you used to get some effect on some picture, my eyes will glaze over, and I could very...

Pros: The one I got was worse than a $200 point and shoot digicam.

Cons: Horrible warranty service from Canon..

Review: Bought this camera April 2005, to upgrade from 300D..
Thought I would get a better camera.. instead it just got WORSE!..
The autofocus was totally off, making every picture look blurry.. ruined all the pictures I took on my camping trip...

Pros: Shutter lag, clarity, ease of use, features

Cons: Stock lens

Review: I am extremely impressed with the Canon Rebel XT. I have used it for quite a while now, and I cannot find a better camera in this price range. The clarity of the pictures are fantastic, the shutter lag is very, very low, the features are great, and...

Pros: Lightweight, easy to use if you have small hands, intuitive, good image quality

Cons: Hard to use with glasses, LCD not visible in bright sunshine

The Bottom Line: This camera is perfect for a better than average amateur looking for their first digital SLR.

Review: This camera is fabulous for a user that's new to SLRs. It's fully automated for when you first start, then you can start using other features as you learn them. You can make it so simple for a newby and incredibly complicated for a more advanced...

Pros: lightweight,when a photo is spot on,it's WOW,cheaper than 20D,

Cons: horrible low light and WB settings performance,grip is terrible too small

The Bottom Line: It's ok.Nothing to write home to mama about.Cameras menus are too nested,hard to get to in a hurry and clumsy.Wheel on 10D and 20D is much better

Review: My local camera stores were sold out of the Canon 20D and I needed a 3rd camera to bring on a major shoot.So,with alot of trepidation,I broke down and purchased a black 350D Rebel.
I'm a pro photographer by trade for many many years. I've been...

Pros: Great camera, great price, great pics, huge selection of Canon and 3rd party lenses

Cons: Slower 7-point auto focus system.

The Bottom Line: Fantastic camera for anybody looking for an entry level SLR. Take the cash saved and put it towards better lens or lenses.

Review: Although many may assume that the latest and greatest would be the preferred route to take, don't immediately dismiss the Rebel XT 350D. This is a wonderful camera with terrific prices anywhere you look. The 400D is equally awesome, but consider the...

Pros: Incredible resolution, decent speed, reasonable price. Many improvements over original Digital Rebel.

Cons: Continuous drive/timer button is easily bumped. Battery door feels a little lightweight.

The Bottom Line: Any camera that's better than the Rebel XT in meaningful ways probably costs twice as much, so the Rebel XT is the entry-level digital SLR to beat.

Review: When Canon introduced the original Digital Rebel (aka EOS-300D), I was pleased to see the price of DSLRs marching downward, but I wasn't in a position to buy one. Furthermore, I was really holding out for 8 megapixels, having once been asked by a...

Pros: Fast startup, autofocus, writing, downloading; small for dSLR, decent low lighting performance

Cons: some of the controls, features and menu layout are not intuitive

The Bottom Line: If photography is becoming a hobby for you -- this is a great choice. Some Pros and beginners will find it lacking for various reasons.

Review: For the past two years I have enjoyed using the Canon A80. I think that was a great camera but the last 6 months I have really been bothered by its limitations. The camera can be slow to focus indoors and that did not really bother me when my son...

Pros: Great results! Price. Ease of use.

Cons: A little small for some people.

The Bottom Line: Recommended for the beginner and serious amateur.

Review: I have always purchased Canon products. In the past I have owned 35mm slrs: T50, AE-1, Elan 7e and maybe some others. I find Canon superior to similar Nikon products.

The Rebel XT was my first digital SLR. I purchased a factory...

Pros: Price, features, rear curtain sync, image quality, wake up feature

Cons: Feels a bit small, body construction a bit flimsy

The Bottom Line: Giant leap from older Rebel 300D, very nice features, great pictures, great interface

Review: I bought the original Canon Digital Rebel (300D) almost the same month it came out. I was extremely happy with it and I made many wonderful photos with the camera. Alas, one night my home was burglarized and I found myself without a camera.
