Canon Digital Rebel XT

Strengths: Small and light (for a DSLR), outstanding photo quality, low noise even at high ISOs, tons of manual features, starts up and recycles very quickly, great battery life

Weakness: Kit lens is pretty average

I had been eyeing the original Digital Rebel for quite awhile, but never pulled the trigger and purchased one. The main reasons for this - the Digital Rebel was slow to turn on and recycle, the burst mode was average, AF modes and metering modes weren't fully selectable, and the camera had some image quality problems compared with competitors like the Nikon D70. When Canon released the Rebel XT,...

Canon EOS Rebel XT 8 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera...

Strengths: Price, image quality, speed

Weakness: Direction buttons somewhat awkward, no thumb wheel on back

The Digital Rebel XT is a fantastic camera for the money, especially when finding a good price for it here on PriceGrabber. While looking at this camera, I also considered the Nikon D70, another great camera, but ultimately chose the Rebel XT for its great value. I consider myself an amateur photographer, but I do care a great deal about usability, image quality, and robustness. Image quality:...

Canon EOS Rebel XT 8 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera...

The XT is amazing. The battery comes partly charged so you can immedietly start using the camera (thank you Canon!) I've already shot about 200 pictures with it and the battery hasn't died yet. I can't give you a comparison between the XT and the 20D as I haven't owned a 20D, I can tell you a few things you may wish to know before buying. This camera, is TINY. Extremely tiny. I'm a woman in my...

Camera is awsome - the lense is awful

Strengths: The Body is one of the best

Weakness: the plastic lens it comes with is anything but acceptable. My G2 produces much better pictures when compared to the standard setup.

I would buy this camera again. The body when combined with a good lens produces nothing but exceptional pictures. However, the supplied lens produces very soft pictures with less than acceptable color saturation. I purchased the 50mm 1.8 prime and the portraits are excellent. If I were to buy again, I would skip the lens - and no, I'm not one of those photo guys that believes you need to spend...

Canon EOS Rebel XT 8 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera...

Strengths: Superb low-noise images, compact size, ease of use

Weakness: No dedicated autofocus illumination, mediocre kit lens, flash underexposure

Recently, the Digital Rebel XT snapped up Technical Image Press Association's award for best entry-level DSLR. This is not surprising, as at the moment, it is one of the most affordable DSLRs on the market, with an excellent feature set from a top manufacturer. If you are considering buying it, you have probably looked at a number of professional reviews, so I will be brief in mine. As all the...

Best Camera that's sub-1000

Strengths: Very quick on start up. Flash recycle was very fast. Writing speed was very fast, dispite a rather slow compact flash card. Auto-focus was great. Light compared to other digital SLR

Weakness: A couple of down side. Read Cons. But still very good

Pros: -Recycle time for the flash was very fast. -Start up was very quick. I almost never miss any important pictures. Leave it the camera On and press the button to get the picture. -Autofocus was very fast. In very dark situation, it fires the flash to get the focus. (very cool) But in some situation, that's not enough. Then you have to manual focus for yourself. -It has many shooting modes....

Great DSLR below $1000!

Strengths: Image quality, functionality, low-noise at high ISO, lightweight, blazing fast start-up.

Weakness: Kit lens, tiny viewfinder, small grip, body build feels cheap.

The 350D / Rebel XT is an amazing steal of a dslr camera at under $1000. I am very surprised that the image quality of this camera is near that of the 20D. This camera is very lightweight—I almost want to put it in my pocket. The start-up of this camera is nearly instant. No need to worry that you could miss that moment. This camera is also loaded with custom functions and highly configurable...

Canon EOS Rebel XT 8 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera...

Strengths: Fast start time, quick shutter speeds, ease of use

Weakness: Pre-flash strobe, included software

This is the first SLR camera I have owned. On the day it arrived, I was able to take some amazing pictures on the fully automatic settings. By the second day, I was able to switch to the manual settings and still get great shots. Coming from an older point and shoot camera, the learning curve for this camera was pretty fast. The menu options were clear and easy to figure out without reading the...

Canon EOS Rebel XT 8 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera...

Strengths: Price, resolution, versatility, speed.

Weakness: Build quality, 1.6x conversion factor.

I finally decided to 'go digital' and replace my beloved EOS-1V film camera with a digital SLR. The 'natural replacement' would have been either the EOS-1D Mark II or the EOS-1Ds Mark II. However, with the rapid evolution of high-end digital SLRs, each year that passes reduces the price you need to pay for the same set of features by thousands of dollars. At about $900, the Rebel XT offered me a...

Canon EOS Rebel XT 8 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera...

Strengths: Fast-fast-fast! Fires up to shoot almost instantly. No cursed "shutter lag." And GREAT pictures!

Weakness: Plastic body, but it is a minor point. Doesn't come with a free 2GB card. Doesn't come with a free $50 leather strap, but what the hey!?!?

There are all too few times when technology, craftmanship, and price all come together in a way that actually enriches us. This might sound like hyperbole, as we are, after all, talking about a camera here. It might be, if it weren't for the fact that the Rebel XT is such a finely thought out and executed piece of technology. It comes truly within a hair's breadth of it's "big brother" the CANON...

Camera Labs - Canon EOS 350D / Rebel XT review

The 350D / Rebel XT delivers an almost unbeatable package of quality, speed, size and price. The most obvious selling point is of course its 8 megapixel resolution, and while the difference between this and its 6 megapixel rivals can be subtle, it's certainly visible in real life results. Thankfully the smaller pixel pitch doesn't compromise noise levels, and Canon's DiG!C II processor ensures...

Canon Digital Rebel XT

Digital SLR’s were once reserved for professional photographers, and could cost as much as the vacation you wanted to shoot, but with digital cameras becoming as common as owning a cell phone, the pricetags for prosumer SLRs have finally come down to earth. Now photo enthusiasts can enjoy the benefits of interchangeable lenses, burst shooting, and the accuracy of a through-the-lens viewfinder.

Canon Rebel XT

Think of a digital SLR camera with the features of a mid-priced D-SLR camera, think of an astonishing 8 Megapixels resolution and you will have undoubtedly the Canon Rebel XT in your mind. With an excellent image quality and the application of the DIGIC II processor Canon made a true all-round entry-level D-SLR camera… Read our review now at LetsGoDigital Camera Magazine.

Canon Digital Rebel XT vs. Nikon D70s:The Competitors for Top Prosumer SLR

It's clear that the Nikon D70s is an evolution of the familiar D70, which has been very successful and was unchallenged in its category until the arrival of the Canon EOS350D. The latter is a new camera rather than an update of its predecessor, the EOS300D, which was the first digital SLR deliberately aimed at the prosumer market.

DCRP Review: Canon Digital Rebel XT

All things considered I'd say that the Canon Digital Rebel XT is the entry-level digital SLR to beat at this point in time. It offers nearly all of the features of the more expensive EOS-20D but for hundreds less. My biggest complaints are the soft images, especially using the kit lens at smaller apertures, and some build quality gripes that I'll get into later. But for those ready to move up to...
