1 XT, the Gateway to Great Things By Brian KochVINE VOICE on April 27, 2006 Style: Camera w/ Lens (Black)|Package Type: Standard Packaging|Verified Purchase

Before this camera I had only used point and shoot digital and 35mm cameras. Now I can never go back, my pass-time turned into an addiction. The features, lenses, quality, and ease of use that this camera offers are astonishing. I started out just buying the 60mm macro lens and the 70-300mm zoom when I originally got this camera. Now I have more lenses and equipment than I ever thought possible. I am up to about 15,000 pictures and going strong without any problems and it just keeps getting better. If you are looking for a great camera to get you into SLR photography this is it. I am considering upgrading to the 30D soon, but I plan to keep my XT as a backup and to use with a wide angle lens while keeping the longer telephoto lens mounted on the second camera body. For the price though, you would be hard-pressed to find a better deal.

2 So Far I Love This Camera By CTurner on July 23, 2007 Style: Camera w/ Lens (Black)|Package Type: Standard Packaging|Verified Purchase

I am new to the SLR cameras so I may not be the best one to review this camera, but I`ll try. I have had 2 other digital cameras, both Canon and both point and shoot and loved them and decided that I would stay within the Canon family. I am an avid scrapbooker, both digital and paper, so it is important that I have good quality pictures. I have taken lots of outdoor and indoor pictures with this camera and so far I am amazed at the beautiful, clear results. I did buy a book recomended by a friend detailing the functions of the Rebel XT and it has been very helpful as instructions that came with the camera were hard to understand. The only negative thing so far is that the camera feels a little bulky to me, but I`m sure that is because I am used to smaller point and shoot cameras. We are going out west in a few weeks and I am really looking forward to all the great pictures I`m sure this camera is going to take.

3 Good Overall Camera By GanGreen on June 26, 2007 Style: Camera w/ Lens (Silver)|Package Type: Standard Packaging|Verified Purchase

I'm not a camera junky but everyone seems to be raving about this one so I got it. My pictures come out great but it might be because I've got a good eye... who knows. The big problem is that when you put it on a plane and then forget to get it from the overhead compartment, it should have a buzzer or something that shouts your name or barks at you. This way you won't loose it and have to buy another one.

4 Another amazing Canon product By A. Marshall on November 24, 2006 Style: Camera w/ Lens (Silver)|Package Type: Standard Packaging|Verified Purchase

The Digital Rebel is the most amazing camera i've ever owned. My previous camera was a Canon A90 and I loved using all the features on it [great camera!]. I decided recently that maybe I should graduate to a SLR because I was starting to get more creative with my photography. I spent a great deal of time researching cameras and finally decided on the Digital Rebel. After a few months of owning it I still am amazed. The image quality is fantastic, it's quick and responsive, and every day using it I learn a little more. It's the perfect intro SLR camera for me because everything makes sense and it's easy to learn. I've gotten amazing shots that I could never dream of getting with a point and shoot.

5 Fantastic Camera - Everything I expected it to be By G. Pollard on June 6, 2006 Style: Body Only (Black)|Package Type: Standard Packaging|Verified Purchase

I have been looking forward to getting a digital SLR for a long time. This camera was everything I expected it to be, and more. It starts up quickly and can easily take 2-3 pictures a second. I have small children who don't tend to sit still too long, so that was a big plus for me. The quality is awesome. The other aspect that I'm extremely impressed with is the battery life. There's not much more I can say that hasn't already been said. I highly recommend this camera.

6 What a great camera! By R. Brian Potter on August 12, 2005 Style: Camera w/ Lens (Black)|Package Type: Standard Packaging|Verified Purchase

I have been dabbling in photography and astrophotography for a couple years now, and was looking for a good upgrade to my Coolpix 995. Boy, was I blown away by this camera! The XT is olidly constructed, has loads of manual features, and works well in the basic zones as well. I would have liked to have seen it bundled with a better lens, but that's just nitpicking -- the lens is a solid performer for its $100 street price. I highly, highly recommend this camera!!!

7 This Merchant Will Go The Extra Mile By Julio Estrada Rodriguez on October 9, 2008 Style: Camera w/ Lens (Silver)|Package Type: Standard Packaging|Verified Purchase

I had some problems with the order because I gave the wrong adress, I contacted the merchant and he gave me a top notch service, he went the extra mile for me and I really appreciate this.

8 Good reliable little dslr despite the age By amy on March 13, 2015 Style: Camera w/ Lens (Silver)|Package Type: Standard Packaging

I bought a gently used one last year and I have to say I love this little old Rebel. It's lightweight so it is easier to carry around than my other dslrs (I also own a 50d, 1ds Mark II, and now a 5d Mark III). I'll use the XT for general purposes due to it's smaller size, I also like I can use my ef-s, ef, and even my super zoom 'L' lenses on it. Don't let the 8MP scare you away it's a rather handy little and very easy to use dslr.

9 Combine With an Image Stabilizing Lens By SciPub on December 26, 2013 Style: Camera w/ Lens (Silver)|Package Type: Standard Packaging

I purchased this in 2005, and used it frequently with several lenses. Recently I upgraded to a t3i and purchased two IS lenses, one of which I added to the XT. The improvement in image quality is jaw dropping. This a very good, feature-rich camera, with a lot of flexibility, including AEB and custom presets. Very durable, and still compatible after all these years. It works with Windows 8.1 if you change its communication to print/PTP. 8 megapixels are just enough for most applications where this camera will be used.

10 Very Good product and working perfectly By Kiran K. Borra on May 20, 2008 Style: Camera w/ Lens (Black)|Package Type: Standard Packaging

I bought this for my personal, family use and this camera takes excelent pics. i dont miss any pic with this as it takes very fast and accurate to the object. i have 18-55mm lens this has bit less range to zoom, i may have to go for bit longer one. i am using cam from past 6months and it works great.
