5 out of 5 stars Great solution for semi-professionals   October 13, 2008
E. Orfanidi (Athens, Greece)
A great DSLR camera with numerous customising options!

The 18-55 mm lens provided though is very very basic. I would strongly recommend buying an extra lens with higher capabilities.

Very well pleased with the camera. I will be even more pleased after a little more experience and time. Very good price and Amazon has been a pleasure to deal with!

This camera is fantastic! I had the Canon Digital Rebel XT before and really enjoyed the functionality and ease of use. However, this new Rebel takes the line to whole new levels! It is very easy to access the controls and shoot manually, the auto-focus is better than before, the picture can be blown up to (roughly) poster size without losing quality, the new battery lasts longer, and the new memory card format allows for faster usage. Oh yeah, and if you take photos outside alot like I do, the auto dust cleaning sensor is a godsend. No dots on the photos!
