 AMAZING camera! April 30, 2008

I switched back to Canon from Nikon and will never go back! This is wonderful, fantastic, BUY IT. I'm not going to write a lengthy review as there are very helpful reviews from more knowlegeable folks already on this page. But I will suggest picking this up if you're an enthusiast who occasionally does professional shoots like me.
first time DSLR owner April 29, 2008

If you do a search on reviews of this camera you will find a lot of first time DSLR buyers deciding to get this camera. I am one of them. After years of Point and Shoot camera use thinking the convenience of carrying them and using them was worth it, I came to the realization that I wasn't happy with most of the pictures I took. They preserved the moment but almost none of them were worth blowing up or printing. Mediocre flash, zoom, megapixels, etc limited me and the pictures.
I love all the features of this camera for the price, especially the dedicated ISO button on top and the menu system is very easy to figure out, and the 3 inch LCD screen. There is also the switch to SD memory cards which are apparently easier to use than CF. It is so easy to take the card out, put it in an SD USB card reader, load the pictures and return the card to the camera, rather than have to fiddle around with opening the little door on the camera and connecting a cable from it to the PC.
If you are contemplating buying your first DSLR you must remember that the camera is just the start. You will need to invest in a quality external flash to improve your flash pictures. And there is the various zoom lens, that now utilize Image or Optical Stabilization, a technology worth the extra cost. I was happy to do all this and I am absolutely satisfied with this camera and the Canon lens and flash as well. I now am very happy with carrying a bigger but absolutely superior camera
Simple to use, Nice feel, Great photos..... April 28, 2008

This Camera seems to do it all, quite nicely, I was a little suprised that the Live View feature does not function in the automatic/program modes, but the three inch monitor is a big improvement for viewing the pictures after you take them. So I am still happy, and won't discount my five point enthusiasm.
I like the weight and the grip, it just feels right to me. I got some really nice photos with the kit lens. Using it with my 580EX flash was also a breeze.
I am a point-and-shoot kinda guy, and this camera gets pro-looking shots in full automatic mode most of the time.
upgrade from a Xt April 25, 2008

I just received my new Xs and see many improvements over the older Rebel. I was totally happy with the original and really wasn't in need of changes. In fact one week ago I replaced the body when Precision Camera repair company tried to cheat me on a shutter repair. The pixel count, IS lens and live preview were what sold me on the new model. Get one but be prepared to buy new spare batteries, charger and SD cards because the new camera's are not compatible with your older Rebel spare parts. If you wear glasses you won't need to carry reading glasses to see the settings on the large LCD.
 Great but slight disappointment April 25, 2008

I moved up to this camera from my 8mp Cannon Rebel XTI. I am very pleased with all of the upgrades from the Rebel, but am slightly disappointed that I can not use live view with any of the automatic settings!! Live view was the MAIN reason for moving up. Otherwise, I am happy with my purchase.
