Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (a.k.a. 350D) 8.0 Megapixel, SLR, Digital Camera (Silver) Kit with Canon 18-55mm EF-S Lens
For convenience, ease of use and no-compromise SLR performance, look no further than the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Digital Camera. Featuring Canon's Digital Trinity - an 8.0 Megapixel CMOS sensor, Canon's own DIGIC II Image Processor and compatibility with over 50 EF Lenses - the Digital Rebel XT has a lightweight and compact body, improved performance across the board and the easiest operation in its class, simplifying complex tasks and ensuring the perfect shot every time. With intuitive simplicity, powerful performance and unprecedented affordability, the Digital Rebel XT is the EOS digital SLR camera for everyone.
- 8.0 Megapixel CMOS Sensor
- The EOS Digital Rebel XT features Canon's 8.0 Megapixel CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor, which captures images of exceptional clarity and tonal range and offers the most pixels in its class. This APS-C size sensor (22.2 x 14.8mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, creating an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF Lens focal length. Featuring an on-chip Noise Reduction Circuit with an expanded ISO range, the Digital Rebel XT's sensor offers professional sophistication in a consumer package.
- Digic II Image Processor
- The EOS Digital Rebel XT's sensor is driven by the DIGIC II Image Processor, which has been enhanced across the board with improvements in speed and image quality. Information captured by the sensor is processed and assembled into images of exceptional clarity and resolution. Consuming very little energy, DIGIC II works with the sensor to ensure natural colors, accurate white balance and speedy write times, letting you focus on taking pictures.
- Smallest and Lightest EOS Digital SLR
- Much smaller than its predecessor, the Digital Rebel XT measures 4.98" across, 3.71" tall and only 2.63" deep, so it fits perfectly in your hand. Plus the Digital Rebel XT weights less than two pounds!
- Fast Shooting and Startup Time
- The EOS Digital Rebel XT was designed from the ground up to be faster and more intuitive than the Digital Rebel. From the ultra-fast 0.2 sec. startup time, shutter release lag of 100 msec. and viewfinder blackout time of 175 msec., the Digital Rebel XT will never keep you waiting. A new high speed shutter shoots at speeds of up to 1/4000 sec. for up to 14 shots and synchronizes with your flash at 1/200 sec.
- High-speed, Wide-area 7-point AF with superimposed focusing points
- The EOS Digital Rebel XT has a high-precision 7-point AF system for speedy and accurate focusing in any situation. You can easily choose your own point of focus or direct the camera to choose it automatically. You can even use predictive AF to ensure that moving subjects stay focused while you compose your shot. With a built-in dioptric adjustment mechanism and a new precision matte screen, achieving sharp focus is fast and easy with the Digital Rebel XT, no matter where or when you're taking pictures.
- User-Selectable Metering Patterns
- With the Digital Rebel XT, you have a choice of whether to use 35-zone AF point evaluative metering, partial metering at the center of the image or centerweighted averaged metering, similar to a meter in a traditional 35mm camera.
- Three AF Modes
- Where the original Digital Rebel chose your AF mode for you, the Digital Rebel XT offers a choice of one-shot, AI Servo or AI focus, letting you make the call yourself.
- Flash Exposure Compensation
- Canon's spectacular E-TTL II flash system can be customized with flash exposure compensation and eight customized flash metering modes. These improvements have no effect on automatic functions, but these advanced features are at your fingertips the instant you want them.
- Direct Print Support with PictBridge Compatible Printers
- Printing your photographs could not be easier with the Digital Rebel XT. Simply connect your EOS Digital Rebel XT to any PictBridge-compatible printer, select your image and print settings, press the Direct Print button and your photograph will start printing. Exif Print 2.2 includes shot information with each image to optimize the printing of each of your photographs.
- USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Interface for Quick Downloads
- Connect your camera to your computer with a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connection and your images will upload at speeds up to ten times faster than with the original EOS Digital Rebel.
- Compatible with more than 50 EF and EF-S Lenses
- The EOS Digital Rebel XT is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, ranging from ultra-wide-angle to super-telephoto lenses and including Canon's new EF-S series Lenses, manufactured specifically for the Digital Rebel series and the EOS 20D. The EF lineup employs advanced optical know-how to deliver unprecedented performance in all facets of the photographic process. Rebel XT users will find the all-new EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens a perfect match for their new camera. It offers a 35mm equivalent of a 27-136mm zoom range and includes Canon's Image Stabilizer (which adds an equivalent of 3 stops) and a full time manual focus mechanism, all in a compact, robust construction.
- Flash Photography with Pop-Up Flash and EX-Series Speedlites
- The EOS Digital Rebel XT features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system. Whether using its pop-up flash or any of the flashes in the Speedlite line, E-TTL II provides stable flash brightness through numerous exposures. Canon's Speedlite 580 EX is perfectly suited to the Digital Rebel XT. It features a maximum guide number of 58, together with an auto zoom function that compensates for the sensor size, enabling high output flash with more accurate results. It includes an AF assist beam that works in conjunction with the Rebel's focusing system and automatically sends color temperature information to the camera when the flash fires, producing consistently accurate colors.

Comments about Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (a.k.a. 350D)Digital Camera (Silver) w/ 18-55mm Lens:
I was tired of using my point & shoot at my Kids' school events, and getting grainy dark photographs. I decided that a SLR was the best route; I have used this camera for almost 2 years now. Its a perfect entry level unit with a world of options for the avid photographer who is looking for an affordable entry to SLR's. the pre programed settings were all I ever needed for family vacations, and events. I ended up purchasing two additional lenses, as well as a flash unit as well. When i am ready to upgrade, i can easily tranition to a body only scenario and use my upgrades for years to come.
the smaller LCD does not bother me...

Comments about Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (a.k.a. 350D)Digital Camera (Silver) w/ 18-55mm Lens:
I'm primarily a film photographer but for my final semester I had to take digital photo classes to satisfy my minor. This is my first digital SLR. It's easy to use. I like the auto-focus option since my eyes are sometimes off on the fine focus. It's neat being able to see my pictures on the view screen after I take them. I also like having all the lens options. The built in flash is also a bonus. For students it's very affordable. Nothing bad to say about it so far. All smiles here.

Comments about Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (a.k.a. 350D)Digital Camera (Silver) w/ 18-55mm Lens:
This is a great learning camera - I'm coming from point-and-shoot, so I needed a camera that would allow me to learn how to properly use aperture, ISO, and shutter speed. Also wanted to replace my old camera, and this has been a real treat.
I know I'll outgrow this thing, but it'll keep me for a long time, and I'll still hold on to it even after I upgrade.
Comments about Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (a.k.a. 350D)Digital Camera (Silver) w/ 18-55mm Lens:
This is the first digital camera I have owned. It was purchased with the 18-55mm kit lens and the 75-300 mm f4-5.6 zoom telephoto. I added a speedlite 430 within a week. My wife wanted me to buy a digital camera last Christmas as a gift for me and to make it easier to send pictures to our dog club's newsletter. I chose it because of my previous good experience with Canon film SLRs. I found it very easy to use as a snapshot camera. When trying to take indoor pictures when flash cannot be used, or is ineffective, I found out that I could not get shots that are easy with my film camera with the fixed focal length lenses I have for that camera. Playing with this camera and taking pictures both film and digital I am getting an appreciation of the possibilities and limitations of digital photography. The consumer grade lenses are of fair quality (Canon's FD and FL mount lenses I have for my film camera are better optically and seem more rugged) and , partly from being zoom lenses are very slow. I am currently planning to purchase a 50mm f1.4 USM and 100 mm f2 USM lenses. Being used to more manual control, I find that I need to work hard and spend a lot of time reading the book to control the features. My AE1 has lasted me since 1979 and still works great. I do not expect the Rebel to last as well, with the plastic body.Overall, this is probably a good first camera for someone starting in photography.
Expertise: Experienced Amature
Problems Encountered: The buttons on the back are easy to accidentally press and not know. Several times, I accidentally pushed the timer button and was confused that the camera delayed taking the shot I wanted.

Comments about Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (a.k.a. 350D)Digital Camera (Silver) w/ 18-55mm Lens:
This camera is simplified from its bigger sibling 20D. It has the same sensor and much of the electronics underneath albeit different body. Excellent camera for the price...The body is not as rigid as the more expensive sibling. Make sure you don't drop it. The kit lens (15-55mm) is mediocre quality, even the basic 50/1.8 is much sharper lens. Upgrade to a better lens as soon as possible.
Expertise: Advance
Problems Encountered: Wish it has second wheel for aperture. A wee bit too small for my hand. The optional vertical grip fixed my problem.

Comments about Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (a.k.a. 350D)Digital Camera (Silver) w/ 18-55mm Lens:
This is an excellent all-around camera for an amateur, butnot one for a professional photographer. I have hadwonderful experiences with this camera for over a year now,and it has helped me learn and grow into the photographerwhich I am today. The Rebel offers a wide range of shutterspeeds and aperture, as well as compact flash. The ISOfeature is great to have, although it seems that few peopleutilize it. It is a shame that most people stick with theautomatic mode, since this camera has so much to offer.Now that the price has dropped almost $500, this is afantastic camera for someone with a low budget. However,image sharpness and quality is sometimes questionable, andtherefore for the more advanced photographer I wouldrecommend a more complex (and therefore more expensive)camera. Canon lenses are fantastic, and are compatible withall versions of Canon SLR cameras (both film and digital.)This camera is certainly a great first camera for anyonemoving from film to DSLR, and it definitely does its job well.
Expertise: Semi-professional

Comments about Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (a.k.a. 350D)Digital Camera (Silver) w/ 18-55mm Lens:
I expected a lot with this and got more. This camera is fairly light weight for what punch it packs. The shutter is lightning fast. There are many different photo options if you are a trained photographer...more than I know how to use. And I love that you can buy different lenses for this. Fabulous camera!
Comments about Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (a.k.a. 350D)Digital Camera (Silver) w/ 18-55mm Lens:
My husband and I got this camera a couple of years ago. We love it even more today than before. It takes GREAT picture. There is no delay time between taking one picture (as most other cameras you have to wait for the picture to be download into the camera). I would recommend that you go ahead and invest in a larger lens. There's a large difference in zoom power. Go for it...you'll love it!
Problems Encountered: None really. Still learning you utilize the camera and all it's capabilities.

This is a great first DSLR for me. It's loaded with features. One I especially like is the long exposure noise reduction. It comes in handy on those starlit nights when I'm imaging deep space objects through my telescopes.The large 8.2 megapixel imaging chip produces high quality poster size prints fit for any gallery.This camera even makes my everyday images more professional looking. The software that comes with it is impressive.

This canon Rebel is the most fantastic Single lens Reflex camera ever Before I bought this camera I read several reviews, all of them are said great things about it if you are a freelance photo journalist, looking for A great camera to use for both work and personal use this is the camera for you! This camera is so easy to use yet it is very, very, high tec.It looks hard to use but looks can be deceiving.the controls are simple but do take a bit of getting used to but that is to be expected. If you have the rebel T2 date this is the bigger digital sister. the only thing to keep in mind is the picture that you are about to take.
Problems Encountered: none other than if you have bigger hands than me the XT might be slightly weird at first but not so bad that you can'teasily get used to it.

I am a Photo Student but i purchased this before i startedtaking pictures, It is great for good lighting conditions,with large black areas it starts to add weird color lines,It is awsome for the price, i would HIGHLY recomend forbeginners, it is easy to teach yourself about some idea's ofphotography but be prepared to upgrade. If you areinterested in B&W stick with film, the tonal ranges is veryreduced compared to film, but for color it does an awsomejob, i would recomend eventually taking a few classes orchecking out photography magazines and books at your localbooks store, and for those podcast fans there arephotography tips for you on there.

Comments about Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (a.k.a. 350D)Digital Camera (Silver) w/ 18-55mm Lens:
This unit takes very excellent photos, particularly of sports, action, etc. Having had many years with 35mm cameras, Ihad to remind myself to be STILL with this one ! Once I got the right lens for the Rebel (28-135mm w/Image Stabalization) it has been virtually impossible to capture a poor photo with this unit. Well worth the money!
Problems Encountered: The lens that comes with this unit ( 18-55mm ) is not reliable.I would recommend something with Image Stabalization.The instruction manual is vague & doesn't present enough information for the average person to understand this camera. I would say there needs to be a definitive how-to book for this camera as well as others.

Comments about Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (a.k.a. 350D)Digital Camera (Silver) w/ 18-55mm Lens:
The camera takes very good pictures, although I'm not completely sold on digital media yet. Most of my shooting is done in program mode, because it allows a little more flexibility than full auto for the type of shooting I have been using it for (scenics mostly). The Av and Tv modes have also been useful, although the Auto-depth mode seems to have some glitches. I've been using for about a month, and still haven't figured out all of the features. I gave it a 3 on design, because some of the functions are difficult if you have large fingers, it seems to be a little on the light side as far as being able to provide a stable platform, and the release is a little hair-triggered. I get about 130 pictures on a 512 CF card in fine mode. I haven't tried RAW mode yet but will soon.
Problems Encountered: I put a Cokin System A series circular polarizer on it and it vignetted horribly on the wide angle setting with the EF-S 18-55 lens. Also, there seems to be a lot of play in the front of the lens with the Cokin system attached. I would recommend against using a Cokin System on the EF-S lens for this reason.

Comments about Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (a.k.a. 350D)Digital Camera (Silver) w/ 18-55mm Lens:
Being a complete SLR rookie I was hesitant about purchasing such a nice camera. I've had it for a week now and have taken over 750 photos. My subjects have varied from an indoor band concert to close-ups of flowers, spiders and such.I've also taken quite a few landscape photos. I apparently have a knack for close-up photos as they have turned out the best so far. I also purchased the EF 75-300 mm f/4-5.6III USM Zoom. I have a lot to learn but I love this camera! Auto mode is dummy-proof.

This camera takes excellent pictures in Auto Mode. The camera adapts well to any photo situation. Outside of auto mode I am still learning. I am very pleased having bought this, and not another point and shoot after my previous camera broke. I would also recommend the IS lenses which are very helpful if you are not using a tripod.
