Canon Digital Rebel / EOS-300D Digital Camera with EF-S 18-55mm Lens

Pros: Lightweight, durable, EXCELLENT image, GREAT value.
Cons: Terrible fast-action camera, lenses poor. Auto focus so-so.

I bought the DR about two weeks after it was introduced, in mid October, 2003. It's now May 18, 2004 and I have taken approximately 2,500 photos with it. I cannot say enough good about this camera, limitations notwithstanding. I have used it in ...

Pros: Great entry level + reasonably priced D-SLR. You will go bonkers with this camera!
Cons: Mediocre body construction, lens blurs in corners; pioneer D-SLR will get "lapped" soon...

I am an amateur photographer, and I decided to blow $1,100 US on a EOS digital rebel kit, and I love it more than i don't like it. I will explain. First I think there is a tendency to fall in love with a camera one just bought. I have had this camera ...

Pros: Affordable digital photography with professional results.
Cons: None so far.

Like everybody else, I've been waiting ten years for digital to reach the same level of quality as 35mm without mortgaging my house to buy into it. My ultimate goal is to get magazine work, and I wasn't even sure if my 35mm was up to the task. I'm ...

Pros: way better low light sensitivity, flexibility, more shots turn out better
Cons: won't fit in your pocket.

Before you are tempted by the new slick 8 megapixel all-in-one compact digitals that have zooooooooom lenses, consider this: The Rebel uses a CMOS sensor, not a CCD. Most others use a Sony 8 mp CCD--the best of which may be the Olympus. However, ...

Pros: Price, Canon quality, Price.
Cons: Image capture in full auto is limited. Wide angle lens choices limited.

Having owned Nikon cameras for my entire life, it took a lot of reading and rereading reviews, specifications and image samples before I decided to purchase this camera. Upon first opening the box, the camera seems extremely light (the body is plastic ...

Pros: PRICE! Images are extremely clear, menus are easy to navigate, battery power is great!
Cons: File transfer software isn't worth its weight in dirt, IMHO.

A little under a year ago I realized I had found a passion for photography. I started myself out with an Olympus C-730 which itself is an amazing camera. After being unable to fully compensate for the shutter lag and its basically worthless manual focus ...

Pros: Simply awesome image quality; no noise at ISO 100-200. Unbeatable price value.
Cons: Flimsy compartment doors. Less manual features than some prosumers.

I had purchased an Olympus c8080 before I discovered the Canon Digital Rebel. Upon further research I switched. Image quality on the Digital Rebel is without a doubt the best you can find for less than a grand (or $800 if you bought it online as I did). ...

Pros: Picture quality, battery life, ease of use, endless potential to learn experiment for beginners
Cons: Too big to take everywhere - but why would you want to?

Personal Background The (first &) last time I held an SLR camera in my grubby little hands was way back when I was 13 and the camera(s) in question belonged to my high school's photography department. Since it was a camera pool, there were ...

Pros: Maximum bang for the buck: Versatile lens, compatible with major computer systems/all Canon accessories
Cons: Depth of field won't go quite as shallow as I'd like (although goes plenty deep)

My husband and I are professional food columnists. We style the food, too -- everything but click the shutter, until now. We got tired of hiring out the photography simply because we didn't have professional-quality equipment. We researched several ...

Pros: Affordable Excellent performance, great features
Cons: Not compatible with older Speedlite EZ series external flash. Plastic body.

I have been a long time Canon SLR camera amateur user and not dare enough (or have the money) to own a digital SLR camera until the 300D came out. The 1Ds (or 1Ds) is still too expensive for me. But when the 10D came out, I almost tempted to buy it but ...

Pros: Basic, easy-to-learn functions, good starter camera for its price,
Cons: Noisy, bulky, A little too basic for more advanced shooters

I received this camera as a gift, because I am a photojournalism student who had it hammered into her head that she would never get anyplace without a camera of her own. And while it's not the slightly-more advanced (and therefore pricier) Nikon D100 or ...

Pros: Amazing picture quality. Familar design. Compatable with Cannon lenses. Did I say amazing pictures?
Cons: Short-ish battery life. Mediocre lense. Needs large memory cards

This is, quite possibly, the best thing i've ever bought. I rank it over my truck in the "things i'd save from a fire" list. wow. simply amazing. first off, it's a cannon. with means two things. one, a great variety of lenses and, two, a camera that ...

Pros: Price in comparison to alternatives. Superb handling. Image quality.
Cons: The poor lens performance at widest focal length.

I've had my 300d just one week now. It was a pretty spontaneous purchase; I've had a Canon Powershot G1 for almost 3 years and I have been more than happy with this realising that digital photography was truly advancing in leaps and bounds. But like ...

Pros: Features and lens that came with rebel kit.
Cons: None

This is my first DSLR. I took my time upgrading from a digital point and shoot to a digital SLR. I started out with a 1.3 mp, then a 2mp point and shoot, a 6mp Kodak Point and shoot, and now the Canon Digital Rebel. I graduated up to this point ...

Pros: Good battery life, Fast focus, Good product history.
Cons: Cannot use LCD to prepare shot.

First of all this camera's price point marks a first in the digital SLR field. I would recommend this camera for someone that is tired of missing shots waiting for your CCD based digital camera to recycle. The cycle time with flash is at the most 1.8 ...
