Canon introduced the first sub $1000 dSLR (Digital Rebel/EOS300D) in 2003 and the company’s second generation Digital Rebel XT/ EOS 350D was the hands-down dSLR sales leader in 2005. Canon’s third generation Rebel XTi/EOS400D has a larger LCD ...

I wanted to get the Canon Digital Rebel XTi ever since it was released. I bought a silver Xti with lens (black one is more expensive). The Canon Digital Rebel XTi with an 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 lens is very impressive and especially so for its price ($760). ...

Pros: The great picture quality; The low shutter lag time
Cons: The high price

I consider myself an intermediate photographer and I owe all of my enhanced interest in the subject and art of photography to the rapid onset of digital cameras to the marketplace. The ease of use and the end of taking film to get developed has increased ...

Cons: Doesn't come with a CF card, if you consider that a con

I’m reviewing the Canon D400 Digital Rebel XTi predominately for those thinking about upgrading from a digital point and shoot camera or for those who are switching from a 35mm SLR camera. I am not a techie by any means, so I will describe the ...

Pros: Compactness Flexibility Availability of accessories speed
Cons: A bit pricey grip could be better very small optical viewer

There are tons of data, features lists, reviews and descriptions for the Rebel XTi on the internet or newstands. Rather than replicate this same material ad nauseum, I will relate my own personal experiences in using this camera. I find this to be ...

Pros: Price, image quality, user friendly
Cons: The body is a bit too small for my hands !

hen Canon first introduced their EOS300D three years ago they promised that it would be a turning point in the history of photography. To be honest it did just that and this is now Canons third incarnation in in their entry level D-SLR line-up. So, can ...

Pros: Professional features in a consumer minded package
Cons: Kit lenses are mostly junk (but they are cheap)

This Christmas we upgraded from a Nikon 4500 point and shoot (digicam) to a Canon XTi (Rebel 400D). There were several reasons for this and I will try to explain my decision making logic below: The first thing to consider for me was cost. I found ...

Pros: Excellent price, performance, looks, weight, size, features, user-friendliness, top in its class.
Cons: None that I have experienced during six months of use.

The conclusion first-- the Canon 400D/Rebel XTi is an excellent camera--well-positioned in price, features, looks and performance. Okay, this will be a long review, so bear with me ;) I read many reviews and waited to actually use the camera before ...

Pros: High resolution, sensor cleaning, fast
Cons: a little on the light side

The Rebel XTi is the newest member of the Digital Rebel family As befits the market leader in digital cameras they have taken a successful product and improved it. Where the original Rebel sported 6.3MP, the XT sported 8MP the new XTi sports 10.1MP ...

Cons: The flash can be slow and the LCD monitor is easily scratched

When I first looked at getting a digital camera I considered myself an amateur photographer. I knew how to point the camera at something and click the button. Every once in a while I would get a photo that made someone go wow, but I felt that it was ...

Pros: To upgrade or not to upgrade? That is the question.
Cons: Camera body alone won't do the trick. Doesn't come with CompactFlash memory.

For the last 2 years, I have put my Digital Rebel 6mp through it's paces. As a "semi-pro" photographer, I've experimented with a wide range of conditions (light, temperatures, distance) and have been quite happy with my Rebel. It's given me four photos ...

Pros: Light weight, long battery life, easy to use, excellent performance
Cons: Compact Flash memory not included, but besides that nothing else I can think of

I got this camera over a year ago as a birthday present to myself. My girlfriend was treating me to a "safari" at the Wild Animal Park and I figured, what the heck why not splurge! So I bought the camera with the 18-55mm Kit Lens. I already had several ...

Pros: fast, amazing resolution, sensor cleaner, sturdy build, options galore, nice monitor, good software package, Canon
Cons: I'll probably find some cons sometime. Right? We'll see.

While the word perfect sums this camera up, well, perfectly, I'll elaborate a little. I just received this camera last night and I've already taken better pictures than I was ever able to with any digital or SLR. While it's my first DSLR, the research ...

Pros: inexpensive, RAW image, many lenses to select, high resolution, 2.5" LCD...
Cons: no built-in IS, user manual is small, included software is almost useless...

The professional cameras are too expensive! Film cameras don't give me a chance/choice to edit or select which pictures to be processed. Point and Shoot cameras don't give me a professional level of control depth of fields, apertures, shutter speed, ...

Pros: Great pictures, long battery life, allows a beginner to 'grow' with the camera.
Cons: Expensive repairs! CFC card can bend pins internally if you're not EXTREMELY careful!

I really like this camera overall. It's simple enough that you can hand it off to someone to take a snap shot with very little explanation or 'dial it up' for more professional type situations. I've had this camera for about 1 1/2 years now and it's been ...
